[quote=Anonymous]DD's babysitter told me today that she is going to take DD and one of DD's classmates to the playground tomorrow.  At first, I thought she meant that she had set up a playdate with the classmate's mom, but she told me no, she offered to take the two kids together on her own without the other mom there.  She didn't ask my permission beforehand and it's not like she's offering to watch the other kid for just 15 or 30 minutes, but with picking up the kid, walking to the playground and taking her back home, a good two hours.  I don't necessarily mind her watching both kids since she's okay with it, but that she didn't think it was something she needed to run by me first.  I'm also concerned that the babysitter runs late as it is (resulting in me paying for extra time), which will get exacerbated by having a second child to watch.

This is the second time that she's offered to help out the other mom (who has her hands full with a younger child) without asking me.  Her first favor is an ongoing not one-time thing, and it kind of stresses me out since it's something that the sitter and I now both help out with and I have to remember to remember it.

I also think it's a little weird that the mom is okay accepting help from my babysitter without talking to me first, but I'm more concerned about the babysitter, not the other mom.
