[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most recent issue I ran into was with a few older women at my church. One of our members was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer 2 weeks ago. She is a SAHM with 4 children ages 5, 4, 2, and 3 months.

I was bombarded with phone calls and FB messages telling me I needed to nanny for this poor woman. My response was that I have a very FULL time job with a family I adore. They take great care of me. I was told by two women, face to face, that I needed to quit my "babysitting" and nanny for this lady. I politely declined stating my facts about my Nanny job.

They looked at me like I had just ran over their puppy on purpose.

Then they assumed that since I was this, "self proclaimed nanny", that I should know a nanny who is willing to give up their job to help someone. Uuuuugggghhhh.

I actually do not know any other nannies. We aren't big on play dates. I'm pretty sure they thought I was lying.

Finally this past Sunday I had to get a bit nasty in my tone and more forceful with my words. Needless to say I was defriended by 3 women on FB and 2 called my mother.....MY MOTHER!!!

Who tattle tales on a 28 year old woman who supports herself well and lives on her own?

Sorry, that was long LOL![/quote] You honestly can't get off our pedestal and help someone out, even if it doesn't benefit you in any way? Selfish much. It's not LOL. It's pretty pathetic that you choose to think its OK to turn aqua and someone else is in need. I get that the ladies bombarding you don't help; but, even a few hours 5 or so a week really help out a family in this type of situation. [/quote]

You are kidding, right? I can't believe anyone is actually this clueless and self righteous.

Oh and I'm not on a pedestal. I work 5:30am-6pm M-F. I'm not heartless or need a benefit to help someone. I volunteer a large portion, heck 95% of my free time. I can hash out the details if you need.

I'm fully aware of the heartbreaking affect this illness will have on this family. If you want to push that issue we can go toe to toe. [/quote]
