Just venting...

Why is it that some mom's feel that I LIKE to watch their kids? They have them call and see if my son can play and he says he will be over as soon as his chores are finished. Then they just show up at my house. When I tell them that Seth isn't done with his chores and he will come over when he is finished, they state "Well my mom just dropped me off while she took my brother to the dentist." DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR FREE BABYSITTER?!? If you need a babysitter ask me, don't just send your kid over to "play" with mine! And people even wonder why I am not fond of kids. Maybe it should be the parents I don't care for since this isn't the first time this has happened!

DANGIT.. I have this same problem.. It is called, just stop being so dang nice and stand up for yourself and call that MOM and tell her that It just doesn't work out for you!!! I'm sorry you are dealing with this, and I don't blame you for venting!! I would vent too...

people really do suck don't they. Why on earth would that mom just assume that you would have nothing better to do than watch her kid? I hope at least it was a kid that you don't mind having at your house?

Hmmm... There's always the Child Protection Agency...call them and tell them you have an abandoned child on your doorstep. Then they'd learn. lol Just kidding. DON"T DO THAT! Then I get the call to work with the family....
And you're not being completely true to yourself...You DO like other kids. It's just nice to love on them on your OWN time and not someone else's!! Bryli loves her aunt Tonya. Very much so, actually.
