My ds best friend at school is a sweet little boy, his mum is nice enough to i thought anyway.....
My ds doesnt really get asked to play over due I think to the fact that we live in a rough part of town in not very salubrious surroundings and going to a private school means children there (or mostly the mums) are used to better things. I know my son is popular, the teachers are very happy with him and describe him as kind and one of the "popular children" so i know its not behaviour (also he has pleanty of friends outside of school who invite him round and ive never had any complaints from them) the issue could be that he is vegetarian.
Anyway this easter I went up to this mum and made a point of asking her ds round to play and also said "if I have ... over then perhaps next time ... can come to you" anyway
She said ohh lovey could you have him from xyz time to xyz time (6 hours long!) so I umed and ahed and said that perhaps that would be a bit long, she said leave it with me, anyway she just phoned me and said right I will bring ... over in 10 mins and pick him up at .. (5 hours )
AIBU, is this a bit cheeky-i think its too long, I also think that phoning up 10 mins before she brings her ds over to me doesnt give me any opportunity to say otherwie.
I just feel like she is using me as free childminding (as i have just registered) and I cant say no as then the boys will be dissapointed.
Anyway reading it back it does seem a bit unreasonable for me to feel unreasonable but i dont know-I spose there is more to it, like the numerous times gone by where I have tken her ds out to play parks ect-favour never returned. and really when she does have my ds (rarely) it is for such a short time maybe 2 hours.
Dont flame, probs amm just being hypersensitive today and dont like to feel like a mug being taken for a ride-which I know is true, i can just never say no, and in any case I so want my ds to go to his friends house to play.... I have in the past mentioned to a few mums that is there a problem with my ds and they all say no but then nothing.
