Was that a speedbump or a milestone?

Kids are out of school next week (X's week) but she has to work (one of the busiest of the year in her profession). Her usual day care will also be closed next week. Tonight she asked if I could help take care of kids next week. I said I could help the first part of the week but not the rest as I may go out of town.

She grunted in disbelief.

Last year she dumped kids off on me her week to go out of town with OM for a week.

I took them for their sake.
