[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend frequently tries to dump her rowdy boys on all of her friends. She has one special needs child too, so I understand why she wants or needs a break occasionally. The last straw for me was when she dumped her four boys (including the special needs boy who needs extra care) at my house for 4 hours so she could run errands and her husband to take a day off. I told her nicely that I could only help during emergencies but otherwise they'd need to hire a sitter (I have my own kids too). She told me recently that she is going to switch her children to the local public school, and has come up with the terrible idea of asking her neighbor to watch the boys in the morning for an hour, at her house, FOR FREE for the rest of the year. Neighbor is also close friend of mine. Do I warn her of my friend's future request?  Watching four boys for an hour a day in the morning FOR FREE seems like a huge imposition to me, especially considering that my friend can afford to have someone watch them. [b]Neighbor is a pushover, but eventually will explode and possibly end the friendship. [/b]I did tell my friend I considered this to be a bit of an imposition, but she claims it will not be a hassle at all. Thoughts?  [b]I hate to gossip. [/b][/quote]

Good on you for hating a gossip, OP.  Everyone in their right mind hates a gossip.  In this instance, it is not just gossip. The best friend is a user and needs to look elsewhere; she clearly spat out more kids than she could handle.  [/quote]
