Quote: Right now, she calls me to ask me if I have plans and if I will take the kids tonight. It's HER weekend ! ! I have ALREADY volunteered to take them tomorrow night so she can go to her GF's 30th Bday party and get ploughed. I told her I do have plans and that NO, I will not take our children tonight. I have ALREADY told her that. Apparently, now that she is sick she believes that somehow everything changes to suit her and HER plans. If I sound a little bitter, I am. She is showing the selfish, self-centered part of herself that I don't care for.
Try not to be bitter. Tell her with a smile on your face that if she wants to engage you as a babysitter, you'll be happy to work for $15 an hour.
W always tells me you can't baby sit your own kids.
