[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t mind at all, but you do. So don’t do it. I would simply assume someday I may need help car pooling or whatever. But, petty is as petty does. [/quote]
That’s unfair. I don’t mind at all helping in a true emergency. This isn’t one. [/quote]

But you originally agreed to help when there was a true emergency?
[/quote]
Yes, I did. It isn’t an emergency anymore, it’s a convenience. Wouldn’t you think the grandma would have, while holding the baby, come up and ask if I would still mind? [/quote]

This is not what you initially said.

Before school started, the mom asked me if I would mind picking up her son on the days she works and grandma is there, because the infant is still sleeping at school drop-off time.

So, there wasn't an emergency, and you apparently agreed to do it for an indefinite period of time.

If you have changed your mind, that's fine, that's your right.  But don't try to frame it as if they pulled a bait and switch on you, because there's no indication of that.  [/quote]

Do you lack reading comprehension? How conveniently you ignored the "because the infant is still sleeping at school drop-off time" that OP wrote. Of course this is a bait and switch if OP saw the baby was happily smiling in grandma's arms.
