[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the reality check.  I will calm it down and reply as suggested.

I think I'm just frustrated because I have so many balls in the air and daily obligations (as most of us parents do) and it felt like my friend was overstepping.

Thank you all![/quote]

How was she overstepping? She asked and SHE ASKED YOU!   It seems that you are upset that she only offered $10/hr. 
I can't help but wonder if she had offered $20/hr for your time and gas, you would be perfectly fine.  If your friend visits DCUM, you needn't worry because she will know what a jerk you are and retreat from you forever.[/quote]

Well… yeah. She offered DD $10/visit which is low but I guess fine since DD is 9. I’m a professional working parent with three kids in elementary school. I’m not a pet sitter, and asking me to facilitate this for DD seems like an overstep.

To be clear, if she was in the hospital or her flight got delayed or something, I’d do it in a heartbeat and of course not expect payment. But I’m not a pet sitter. [/quote]
