[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you commit not knowing what may pop up later...6 weeks is a long time and things can happen in between. 
Personally I don't do it unless it's less that a week I'm committing to.
The reason being my former employer once asked me to work a particular Sunday  the following month because her husband wanted to take her out..I said no problem because Sundays I would shop or just read at home..only to realize a week before it was on Mother's Day. ..I quickly told her I'm sorry couldn't do it because my husband and kids have always made this a very special day for me...
She was very angry..it was very awkward going in to work..I eventually left..
Now I don't ever work weekends as favors...my hours are m-f
Don't try to convince me that you trust only me to watch the kids..[/quote] that's just it...you put the day you agree to on the calendar and when something ELSE pops up, you say no, because you already have something on the calendar. Or you just say no from the get go. Or you can say yes, but such and such might pop up but I won't know for another two weeks or whatever. If you say yes, then plan to be there. Period. If you can't overcome the urge to accept a better offer down the road, then don't commit in the first place.[/quote]

S**t happens.  Deal with it.
The world doesn't revolve around you and your life.
Things change, sitters cancel and sometimes we don't get what we want.
Move on.[/quote]
