[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another SAHM here and never in 10 yrs has this happened. Sure, we carpool, drop off play dates, etc but it is all reciprocated/even as out. It is called friendship; that is what friends do.

OP- are you saying "strangers" from school are asking you to cover for them? That makes no sense. And last minute on top of that - as in their kid is sick and so they want you, whom you're not friends with/know nothing about, want you to watch their sick kid??

Can you explain OP? This doesn't add up.[/quote]

OP is not talking about real friends, nor actual strangers. These are people who you think are becoming your friends, until one day you realize you don't really know them very well even if you have known them for years, and that to them, you are not a friend (someone they would invite over for family pizza or go out on a double date with), but a convenient favor-doer for whom they will never reciprocate.[/quote]

This. Or, for example, the person is two hours later than the agreed pick up  and I find out they decided to sneak in a run and shower without consulting me. [/quote]
Yep. Had this happen. Watched a friend’s newborn while she went to her OB appointment. She figured it would be fine to hit up Target on her way home. Even got a coffee but didn’t bring me one! Meanwhile her baby is totally over it and just wants the boob.

Also helped an acquaintance whose daycare was closing for the day because she needed 6am help. Got myself up, dressed, waited. She called to say she slept in and would be over soon. Two hours later and I could have still been sleeping.

People ARE users be glad you haven’t met them.[/quote]
