[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...I love my nephews (don't have nieces yet) almost as much as I do my own children. I'd think nothing of entertaining them and/or feeding them while on vacation. WTF  :shock: [/quote]

You'd be fine being the babysitter on a vacation, cutting into your relaxation time (it's supposed to be a vacation for everyone, right?), while another perfectly capable adult thinks nothing of handing responsibility for her kids off to you (without asking) so she can relax, and never reciprocating?       You're either lying or a complete doormat.  Which is it?

This is not about the kids - at all.  This is about an entitled, selfish adult who either is clueless or thinks her family owes her free childcare (and she shouldn't be expected to reciprocate) because she's a single mom.  [/quote]

Yes, I would be fine with it. I have children, so my nephews play with my children. If anything, it would give me more of an opportunity to relax because the kids would entertain themselves. And so far, I've heard about throwing some extra eggs in for breakfast and trying to entertain the 7 year old while the younger one sleeps with Mom. Really not seeing the big deal here. I get my nephews on the weekend quite often. I enjoy spending time with them because it doesn't happen very often.

But of course many of the women on DCUM seem to have terrible family relationships, so YMMV.[/quote]
