[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That should have been a red flag in the beginning that she was willing to watch your son gratis.

Taking on an add’l child is a ton of mental, emotional + physical energy.
Plus not having to pay for childcare is a huge perk.
Huge.

I could never accept free childcare from ANYone.
Because as the saying goes.....
There really is no such thing as a “free” lunch.

It is on her however to communicate w/you that she will no longer be able to watch your child.

1.) Just stop contacting her altogether.
She isn’t even worthy of a true friend in the sense of the word.

2.) Contact a Nanny/Babysitting agency for emergency back-up childcare.
Consider the co$t the money you saved when she babysat for free.

3.) Search for a mature, reliable & ethical Nanny, SAHM or reputable daycare or childcare centre in your neighborhood.

Wishing you the best.....[/quote]

Op here. We found a great daycare yesterday. It's not hard to find daycares in my area. I responded to my friend and told her she's leaving me in a bad spot. One more thing- I have given this lady tons of ride's and she makes me wait 20 minutes or more for her in the parking lot because I suspect she's still getting ready. I can understand this happening occasionally but it has happened every time I have given her a ride. She's a lot younger than me and I think she's just kind of flakey in general. Our husbands are friends and I introduced my husband to this family. It's very likely that our children will go to the same preschool/ elementary school. [/quote]
