[quote=Anonymous]She asked me to watch one of her kids for an hour. I said yes. She then added in two more kids and asked for slightly over an hour. I said yes. She shows up with all four kids and doesn't come back for over four hours. She comes back with freshly done nails and and tells me how she managed to run all these errands and have a lovely lunch with her husband and thanked me. Meanwhile they destroyed my house and I used all the food that I was going to serve my kids for dinner to give them for lunch.

I find it interesting that a PP watches someone else's kids for free for an hour. The issue for me is that this is a reoccurring issue. She has tried to make me babysit for her kids multiple times and when I say no, she has actually said "because you couldn't watch them... I had to hire a sitter."  I don't get this at all- we all have to hire an occasional sitter or a regular sitter.

Another point is that they can afford childcare. I would have less of an issue if money were tight. However if they had gone to a less fancy lunch place, they could have easily swung a sitter. Or they could have been upfront with me and I would have suggested some sort babysitting swap. She does this to people all the time, and then wonders why they don't call her anymore.
