[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My workplace is very clear that having childcare (or dependent eldercare) is a condition of teleworking.

"Oh okay, I've heard good things about X daycare".  Whether you want to bail out your friend is your choice (you can say no and I would in that situation) but definitely don't have your daughter do it unless she 100% wants to and she's getting paid to babysit.[/quote]
It’s definitely a “omg I can’t believe the baby is a live thing that needs me” type of situation, and she can’t believe it’s 2pm and she hasn’t gotten any work done and when teen is home from school can you or she come snuggle the baby so I can finish my work? I’m frazzled!” And no, no money. That’s what friendship is all about, right? [/quote]

No, because that's your friend, not your daughter's friend.  You can't offer up her time and labor like that.  You want to do it for friendship, you be the ine to do it.

And we all know that it's a lot more than snuggling a baby.[/quote]

It's obviously not OP's friend. OP clearly hates this woman.[/quote]
