[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom with a sibling who doesn't have kids and I would never do what OP's sister does. And my sib loves my kid and thinks she's a riot. But I respect that he has a life of his own and that nobody owes me free childcare. I think "kid dumping" is the accurate phrase when it entails a parents presumptuously dropping a kid off (or trying to) without asking nicely, in advance, if it's OK. If I need to ask friends or family to babysit, I ask nicely with plenty of warning, and not very often, and I bring a thank you gift (wine, a cookie from a good bakery, something like that). Even among close friends and family, I think it is always best to treat these occasions like what they are: favors. Not obligations.[/quote]
