[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately, OP, these people are not your friends. They're using you. Do you want to have friends that are using you? Your kids have friends, yes. How much time should they be spending with their BFFs? What's reasonable? Also, let your kids develop new relationships with new kids.[/quote] People are different. They offer each other different things. Life is not 50-50. (And BTW people who keep track of how much they give vs how much they get are not friends, either.) Some day OP may need some help from her neighbors. Maybe one of the kids is sick or needs to go to the hospital, her DH is out of town, and the nannies are booked. I imagine asking the neighbor for help and them responding, "Of course! You've had our kids over so many times!! Bring them over here for the night. Anything."[/quote] Tiniest. Violin. Ever. I think OP is smart enough to ask any other neighbor for help, there are plenty to choose from - not the user neighbor - should there ever be this very unlikely yet "inevitable disaster" you speak of. Yes, at the zombie apocalypse, the only neighbor to have the last morsel of food will be you, the user neighbor, according to you, we get it. Happy? Better yet, smear OP's name: "SHE doesn't let neighbors poach her NANNY! The nerve!" Puuulease, people like you would love to guilt OP into letting their nanny be poached - you are not a friend, either. You are just mad that you got found out. Go find your own help and try to pay what OP's neighbor pays - nothing. Zero. Zilch. Zip. No love lost there. [/quote]
