problem my friend and i babysit every tuesday for our neighbors...?

Question

ok so our neighborhood has a block party every labor day and the neighbors that i babysit for were there and they needed someone to babysit for them every tuesday from 4:15 to 5:30 so they asked ME and then the mom looked at my mom and asked if that was ok and she said that was fine. and then my neighbor said to my friend that she heard that she didn't like to babysit and my friend just sat there and didn't say anything!! so when tuesday came around, my friend asked me if she could babysit with me and i said well... so i really didn't want her to come with me and i said that i would ask my neighbors. But i really didn't. so my friend asked me if i asked my neighbor and i said that she thought that "you really didn't like to babysit." so my friend was really getting on my nerves because when i told her that she said "well why didn't you tell her that i did like to babysit" i told her that you could have said that you liked to babysit when we were at the block party but you just sat there and said nothing!! so i really isn't my fault!!!!" so she than asked me for their phone number to ask her herself. i told her that i didn't know their phone number. so i told her that i would ask her again. ( this really was the first time what i had asked.) so she said that it was ok. so i told my friend that it was ok and she was really happy. i get payed 10 dollars and as my neighbor is done with work, she hands ME the money and says thanks. as soon as we walk outside to walk home, my friend says, how much did WE get? I said 10 so i give her half. so she wouldnt be mad. so that went on until today (tuesday).
i told her that she couldn't babysit with me this tuesday. So she said that she was going to babysit no matter what my mom says becasue i got in trouble and my concequence is that i cant do ANYTHING with my friends. so thats what i told my freiend and she made me call my mom adn tell her that she was going to babysit with me and i told my mom what heppened and my mom said that i have to tell her again that she cant come with my this time!!! but then my friend said that my mom was gonig to get a call form her mom about this hole thing!!!!!so my friend is really mad at me. and I got home and i ended up not having to babysit this tuesday so it all worked out. i then called my friend and told her and she was still mad at me.

i really dont want to split the money with her and i told her that and she said that it was really her job before it was mine because before i moved in they asked her to babysit. then later when they asked her she said no because she didnt like the kids. so i then gave them a flyer last year and i have been babysitting for them ever since becasue my friend wouldnt babysit for them!!
so my friend is really mad at me and i just dont know that to d!! can you please help me sort this out!!!!!!!


P.S. my friend bascically weezeled her way into this whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because if its not her way its no way

Answer 1

Wow.

This really is an issue.

Your friend seems desperate for your attention and if she said no to babysitting before. That's her fault. If you tell her no because your the main babysitter than it should be no. Not go call the moms or whatever. Your friend is being childish about this. You, The moms, and your friend should meet up along with the parents of the kids you babysit and sort this out. The parents chose you although, so First talk with her first then if it gets more out of hand bring in the parents. If she still is desperate bring in the kids parents.



If she wouldn't of said no, none of this would of happened. This isn't your fault. And if she doesn't like the way it goes, tell her to get over it. This is your job- not hers. You can make new friends and so can she but the way this economies going- you'll need the money to survive then the friends can come after.

Wow! She really just forced her way into the job, huh? Honestly, tell her to go ahead and have her mom call yours. If your mom is on your side, she'll defend you. And in the end, its your job. you can always be like "too bad, so sad."
