[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My workplace is very clear that having childcare (or dependent eldercare) is a condition of teleworking.

"Oh okay, I've heard good things about X daycare".  Whether you want to bail out your friend is your choice (you can say no and I would in that situation) but definitely don't have your daughter do it unless she 100% wants to and she's getting paid to babysit.[/quote]
It’s definitely a “omg I can’t believe the baby is a live thing that needs me” type of situation, and she can’t believe it’s 2pm and she hasn’t gotten any work done and when teen is home from school can you or she come snuggle the baby so I can finish my work? I’m frazzled!” And no, no money. That’s what friendship is all about, right? [/quote]

You are being a huge b. Sorry, you need to know this.

If she asks for help with the baby, say no. End of conversation. You can't help. If you or your daughter wants to do it for money, say "I'm available but my rate is XYZ."

All the other judgment is about you and your own BS. Calling this woman your "friend" and then talking about her like you despise her is disingenuous. She may or may not be being ridiculous,I'd have to know her actual situation to say. But you are being an ahole.[/quote]

Well. I guess we found a working mama who doesn't pay for childcare, LOL![/quote]
