[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this story is getting more complicated every time OP posts something. now, if they asked you to carry the baby in a scarf and you repeatedly responded no, giving you a carrying scarf as a gift was really inappropriate, like a passive aggressive way of asking you AGAIN to carry the baby in the scarf. if this is the situation, instead of being angry (who cares about the gift, and you were not expecting it), you should seat down with them and go over their expectations and what you are willing to do. if they want their baby to be carried in a scarf all day, be taught yoga, been exposed to Mozart music 3 hours a day or whatever else they want, and you are not confortable with their requests, than it is clear that you are not the child care provider they need, and they are not the family you want to have as clients. no hard feelings, you can still be friends, but you cannot work for them.

OP here.

Indeed, I said no to carrying the baby in a scarf over the phone. So it was really annoying when she asked me AGAIN on Facebook.
She knows I have never carried any baby in my charge and didn't carry her daughter nor was I asked to.

When I give a present to someone, I make sure THEY like it. I don't think about how I would enjoy it myself.
All I see is that they want to buy something for their son and see the occasion to skip getting me a present by wrapping the whole thing up.

Again, I am just pissed at this attitude and about how cheap they can be (that's another topic I didn't want to bring up but they are).
I can buy myself anything I like so I don't care if I don't get a present, but I don't like being given something that's not for me. It doesn't make sense.

Anyways, this is the only thing we don't agree about. They liked how I helped raise their daughter and were happy to keep in touch once she went to school full time.
I'll have a talk with them soon (we're doing a Halloween party with the kids) and try to make sure they understand my point of view.

And to reply an earlier comment, I didn't snap at them in my reply, I just said "no, I do not want to use a scarf carrying your baby", I wasn't rude towards them as I like and respect them.[/quote]
