So, Meg just emailed and asked me to watch the kids in a few weeks because Nan (Nancy) is coming to visit.

I told her I wouldn't, and that she either needs to find a babysitter, or have Nan visit during a week when she doesn't have the kids.

*shakes head* I can't believe she asked me to do that. It's hard to imagine a more insensitive request.

proud of you - and what Andie said about not setting a precedent -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 07:06
good for you. i'm sure it was hard to say no to having your kids, but that's a good precedent to set I think. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 22, 06:31 4
- After watching the kids for a full week, it's not really that hard to let someone else watch them for a while. ;) -- nm - Inigo Nov 22, 07:21
- well said -- nm - ty97 Nov 22, 07:02
- absolutely agreed. - Mel Profit Nov 22, 06:59
- yup. -- nm - znufrii Nov 22, 06:33
She just wants to put an extra burden on you during the period that the person who ruined your marriage is visiting. -- nm - Mop Nov 22, 06:31 5
- On the other hand, I wouldn't let my kids anywhere near that person. - Mop Nov 22, 06:33 3
  - She promised not to even talk about Nan in front of the kids, much less have her around them. -- nm - Inigo Nov 22, 06:41 2
    - unfortunately, her word doesn't have much meaning anymore, does it? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 07:10
    - Well, here's the deal. - Mop Nov 22, 07:06
- Nah, it's more like I'm the only person who would possibly do it (her parents wouldn't), and it didn't even occur to her that it would upset me. -- nm - Inigo Nov 22, 06:32
