[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“I don’t think we’re on the same page. Are you asking for Sally to come over to your house for a play date, or are you asking me to babysit Jane in my home?” [/quote] +100[/quote] This is good.[/quote] no it’s not good. it escalates the situation - to what end? it’s much better to just keep silent.[/quote] It doesn’t not “escalate” a “situation.” It clarifies. If they are asking for free babysitting, they need to come out and say it. “To what end”? To the end where you either come out and ask for a favor, directly, or you realize you can’t get away with manipulating people into free babysitting and leave them alone. Or maybe you’ll wake up, realize your gaffe, and invite them over if they have graciously hosted your kid in the past.[/quote]
