[quote=Anonymous]Working mom of a toddler here. I have a flex work schedule that allows me to take every other Friday off. I have this Friday off and a neighbor SAHM of a similar age toddler invited us to go together on a zoo outing. I said yes and was happily planning on it. Now I get a message from this mom telling me that something nonessential came up, and what would I think of taking both of our toddlers to the zoo without her? Or just having her toddler over for a play date. I’m not comfortable taking her kid on a zoo outing by myself (it sounds overwhelming to take two 2 year olds) and I am fine explaining that to her. But I am thinking that on my day off, I’d still like to do the zoo with my child - not host a play date (a.k.a. Free babysitting). Am I a terrible neighbor if I say no? Do I make up an excuse or just be honest? I feel selfish but I also don’t get tons of time to do fun outdoors stuff with my kid and don’t want to lose this opportunity. Advice? [/quote]
