mommy to a princess
New member
I started being friends with her AFTER i was already watching her youngest daughter for months, for free. She barely new me at the time and was pawning her baby off on me whenever she could, overnights and all. She only new me because we have a mutual friend and she had never even stepped one foot in my apt even though i would invite her, and her baby was there all the time! So now the baby is 2 and i still watch her but dad is involved now, so not as much. Her mom still takes advantage of me though and is to the point where she drops her child off with absolutely nothing, not even diapers. So i step it up and do what mom *should* be doing.
Months ago the mom and i started talking more and actually became friends. She's an ok friend when her kids aren't around but when they are it's chaos! She doesn't discipline or teach them. Just lets them do what they want and throw tantrums and lets the 2 year old hurt her older sister fighting for moms attention. The oldest doesn't have manners! The worst part is that mom keeps saying she knows she needs to change them but she never follows through, so she knows the right way to do things but she just doesn't do it! It makes me extremely annoyed when i'm over there! So i HATE being around her and her kids at the same time. At least when i have her kids alone they listen! They don't listen as long as mom is around and when they are at my house they do things i don't let them do, just because their mom is there!
Plus she has this sly way of asking me to watch her kids. She'll call me "just to talk" then after like 10 min on the phone she'll say "what are you doing?" casually, and when i say i'm at home or nothing she tells me she's about 2 mins away from my house and can she bring the baby by for me to watch. Either that or she gives me a sob story about how no one else can watch her and i'm the only one left. So i know dad's visitation schedule, would if be rude if i just stopped answering her calls on the days i KNOW she has her kids? She doesn't have them often because she lets dad keep them about 4 or 5 days in a row, and then complains about her lack of child support (pfft) but it is bad that i want to stop caring for her kids? It's not the kids, it's the mom that i'm frustrated with, unfortunately the kids act the way they do because of mom.
