[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She acts like she doesn't notice when he needs something, she just watches tv or continues with whatever we are doing for fun. A couple times he would even start crying for a bottle and she would ignore it even tho I tried to stall so she would have to help me.

Sorry for the typos in my original post, I'm on my phone. This time I'm going to play with him of course but take a step back when I'm tired and just let him cry til she deals with it.[/quote]

Yikes! That's really terrible of your friend. My sister has two kids, and I'll occasionally head to their house immediately after work for family dinners and such. But it's totally different as I just get to be fun Aunt then. I don't have to worry about what they're eating, or if they're getting too much screen time, etc. I just get to have fun with my nieces and pass them off to their parents when they need a diaper change ;)

Sounds like you need to set some firm boundaries with your friend. Let her know that you've been working very hard hours lately, and while you're happy to hang out with your friend and her DS, you're looking forward to a relaxing weekend where you are not the responsible adult. [/quote]
