[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would help if the two kids are friends. I once had a girl for fife days (overnight) with us because her single mother working as a midwife in a hospital had to step in at short notice and couldn't  find sombody to look after her 7year old daughter. Me and DH have flexible hours, our kids went to a half day sports camp during the whole week so me/DH had to look after this girl instead of working. But this mom was desperate so we helped.

OP’s situation is different. There is no short notice when it comes to the school’s schedule. [b]This mom didn’t plan. [/b]

Personally, I do lots of favors for people, including babysitting, sometimes for days at a time. But I would not on days where I am using my leave for whatever it is that I want to do.

And, given how pushy she is, I’d probably let her know that I’m uncomfortable and can no longer take her kid on Tuesday. [/quote]

OP said the mom had childcare but it fell through. I'm not saying the pushy mom is right, she's not, but she did have plans. [/quote]
