Yes.. she tells me, "It'll be fine. She's easy." Yes, easy by herself. But combine her with my 3 yr old and my 1 yr old.. not so easy. Not to mention.. I don't WANT to babysit kids. I stay home with mine to be with mine. I am not obligated to watch other people kids for 20 bucks so you can save money and make money. Really? It's $200 a week here for baby daycare.

Ok sorry.. I'm just disappointed. This is my BFF from childhood. And I'm disappointed and feel taken advantage of. That's all.

One more thing.. I agreed to be the babysitter's (Mother in law) back up. Sure, I'll help if she has something come up. I'm thinking once a year maybe. Oh no... she tells me later that it will be 3 times a month. Something she should have said from the beginning. She said "backup".. in those "rare occassions" that something happen. Knowing the whole time she needed someone 3 times a month.

This is really eating away at me I swear. I need to get over it. I'm just disappointed in the way this went down.


***Unnecessary Rant is OVER***

Sounds like it's time to have a talk with her. You need to put your foot down. Nicely, but still, foot down!

Let her know that you had agreed to babysit IN EMERGENCIES, not on a regular schedule. If you let this eat at you, you'll eventually blow your top and it'll be ugly for all involved.

You should tell your friend how you feel. Be honest, you were thinking 3x a year, not 3x a month. Tell her honestly, you just can't do it more than once every 4 monthes, becasue as a mom of 3, your days are full allready. You might wait until after the end of the first day. When she asks why just tell her "I can't possibly do this more". WHen she says why again, tell her its too much for you, or else you'd have another baby yourself. If shes really your friend, she won't want you to feel used.

That's because I'm hiding DUCKLINGS in the closets!

Tell hubby he can use the spare parts to build me a hatcher so I can have ducklings to hide in the closets!

Pocket is slowly starting to resemble a baby squirrel instead of a rat. At least with her the ugly phase is over, she just gets cuter from here on out.

Yup, that's me. Readers Digest for the Hatch Day thread.

***WARNING.... UNNECESSARY RANT..***


Ok.. I have to go to bed. I get to babysit a 5 month old baby tmw! Yay!! And instead of dropping her off at 830am, she wants to drop her off at 7:00am ... so she can get ready for work. ?? Oh okay.. No problem. Let me get my *** out of bed an hour early so I can watch your kid (plus my 3) because you want to blow dry your hair. And then for fun.. I'll put them all in my car (3 car seats mind you) so I can take my oldest daughter to school. But it will all be worth it when I get paid 20 bucks. Woo Hoo!

And it will give me something to do all day. Since I'm a stay at home mom who is just practically BORED all day long.

Can't wait.

This is what my mom says.. but I really think it will end badly. I'm trying to look at the bright side of things and think of ways to spend my 20 bucks. LMBO. I'm a pretty straight forward person, but this one for some reason I have no cahoonas for. Go figure.

Honestly.. I could find 20 bucks in my couch cushions. Just sayin'...

LOL. I'm still waiting and watching and hoping that it hold temp and humidity well. Humidity looks like it might be an issue, which is a bad thing in a hatcher.
