[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what makes you think the SAHM wants to be someone else's child care rescue more than you do?[/quote]
I don’t and I didn’t mean to imply that. What I meant was, if it’s because she knows I don’t have to work next week and that’s why she’s fixated on me, why isn’t she trying the other mom who she also knows will be home next week? And don’t say because maybe that mom has plans or a conflict, because same. [/quote]

Maybe she has already tried it with the SAHM, assuming, as you did, that that mom would be more available than the WOHMs, and the SAHM already said no.

But you did single out that mom.

Op was clearly pointing out that the pushy mom was targeting her because pushy mom knew op was off the next week. The sahm is also…off next week…but pushy mom did not push her. Thats what op was talking about. Pushy mom did not push the working moms because they are…working…not available for emergency childcare. I’m NOT saying the sahm should do it, just that I get why op called out the sahm in this situation.

FWIW I’ve been a sahm as well as a wohm. I did indeed have more time on my hands to help other people out when I was a sahm. If I couldn’t I didn’t, but I sometimes did because I did have that flexibility at the time. Nobody took advantage of me, thankfully. If you’ve been taken advantage of,pp, I get why you are sensitive, but don’t be shocked when people think you have more flexibility than wohm’s because…you do. [/quote]

I hope these WOHMs you helped out by watching their kids watched YOUR kids just as much.  Because if they did not, then you actually were being taken advantage of…[/quote]

That’s actually not how taking advantage of someone works. You sound petty.[/quote]
