[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just talked with our sitter and told her to text the other mom, on the day of, whenever she feels like walking both girls back home.  I also stressed that I was completely fine with her never doing this, since she's the one doing it, and that at most, I wouldn't want her to do this more than once a month.  So our sitter is in no way obligated.  I think this strikes a good balance of being helpful (assuming sitter wants to), but not too much that it becomes an obligation for us and/or expected by the other mom.[/quote]

I think you put more obligations on your sitter's plate than you needed to.  You assume she wants to help, but at the same time you are telling her to text the mom whenever she feels like walking home.  You are putting her in a tough spot of telling YOU no.  BTW, in this case the sitter is the one who will be helpful, not you (I don't mean that in a harsh way), so I hope she gets paid a little extra.  Also, for the life of me I don't understand why you would add this extra work on her when all the other mom wanted was for her to take the girl to the lobby. [/quote]

+1 Bc OP is so afraid of her own DD being in class without this friend. Pathetic. [/quote]
