it's been a day. i had the three babies again today. now informed that nates babysitter flaked out and i have the priveledge to babysit him. i need to run away and hide. i told them i needed about 5 days without kids. i want to go to the tetons with my last ex. we are good as friends but as the saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink..or i would still be married to him.it is 12:45 here right now and i haven't taken my meds yet. they will give me a hangover tomorrow when nates dad drops him off at what i have been told between 6am-8am i like that i need to be up at 6 wondering if he is coming then or anytime durring the next two hours.aren't there pills for people that can't make decisions?? i have a lunch that i am supposed to go to, i accepted the invitation and now i have to teach another one of my children a hard lesson. first they need to ask me instead of telling me..they need to pay me...they need to see if i have any plans.. just because their sitter is a flake doesn't mean that i am only USED if they can't get anyone else.. so what do you think i should do and how to do it? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP JAIME

Wow, what a situation. I say that the only recourse is to tell them you do have plans and go do them. I know it is tough but they have to realize you have a life of your own and did not have these children, they did. I think maybe you might benefit from helping them find another babysitter if they are willing to use you for one, who better to interview the new one? Just an idea. Hope you get some much needed R&R. God bless.
i agree a lesson on common respect is more than needed. stand up for yourself
