[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My physician friend has definitely used me for babysitting and it got really old. When I started working PT, she would still occasionally ask me to watch her kid on my days off. Never offered to pay. I ended up giving her the number of a sitter I had used. She often talked about how she was so thankful to be part of such a great "village." [/quote]

I work part time as a physician.  I made it known to my friends in two physician couples (particularly residents!) that I am available for emergency childcare on my days off.  People have called, but I have never felt put out or like I was someone’s only back-up.  [/quote]

My friends dad was hospitalized and she put out an email asking for help with her kids for 3 days. Only working moms helped and the SAHM's who used her nanny for years... not a peep. [/quote]

I’m a SAHM of 3 and can barely handle my own kids. I have let my son’s friend sleep over when parents attended a funeral and am always willing to drive kids. I feel like I’m often the receiver of favors since my third child was born 2 years ago.[/quote]
