x2.  I'm watching her kid all week for her.  I'm still mad.  just sayin'.  

 

Sucks cuz she's been a friend for 30 years.  Since she was 3.

 

 

Wow...that's a long time.  If that's the case, then you should be able to sit her down and talk frankly with her.  Not confrontationally, but a heart to heart.  Tell her how it makes you feel, and see if a better compromise can be reached.

I was hoping you'd post puppy pics!  They are precious.    Is momma doing okay with all those babies, or will you have to help her out with some bottles?

Can someone explain why I'm watching her kid when she took the day off?  Anyone?  And can someone explain why my husband has to come home from work early to watch said baby, so I can take my daughter to her first softball game? That my husband missed because he was watching her kid?  Really?  

 

I'm done with friends.  Friends are only friends until they take advantage of you.  I'm tired of the whole "oh she stays at home, she can watch my kid."  

 

Hey people on here .... Don't ask me to watch your kids!!  I don't want to !!!  I want to watch mine and sometimes I don't even want that! 

I promise, QJ, I will never ask you to watch my kids.  And I'm not just saying that because I don't have any still at home.    It sounds like you need to paste my mantra on your forehead.  Are you ready?  This is the mantra that broke me of being the "go to" girl:  "I can't be everything, to everyone, all the time".   I taped it to my computer monitor.  I used to get taken advantage of by "friends" all the time, but I learned how to say "no", and I am SO much more peaceful now.  You have to stop the cycle, then it won't be such a given that you'll always be there.  If you're babysitting all week, I'd give her a heads up that you won't be able to watch the baby on Friday.  "I'm so sorry, I've just got way too much stuff on my schedule for Friday.  But check with me next time, and I'll see if it works better."

That's awesome....hope I get lucky enough to get a pair.  The lady said she used to let folks sex the ducklings when they picked them out, but then others behind them would end up with all drakes, so she doesn't let anyone sex them anymore.  Maybe I can talk her into letting me since I want both a hen and a drake.  I'll practice on my son's Runner ducklings beforehand. 

Hello, I just thought I would give you all an update. It was a long day yesterday helping these two babies get out of their shells, but the 3 of us(with help from all of you)  did it!
One of them has clubbed feet so I made him/her a pair of shoes out of a TV dinner box and he/she is walking much better now.
Thank you for the encouragement and advice, I love BYC!
