My sil asked if I could have her granddaughter for the morning tomorrow. She had agreed to look after her, but she goes into town every Friday with my other sil. She knew I was off work, do asked if I'd have gd for a few hours to allow her to go knto town (Friday town trip is something they do every friday).

I've got some stuff I was going to do tomorrow, but it could wait until Saturday. I told her I had stuff to do. She's taking gd into town with them now.

I feel terribly guilty, wibu? Sil does school run for me a couple of times a week.

Well......if your Sil helps you out on a weekly basis, it might have been nice for you to have returned the favour in this instance?

She staking her with her. No issue, you had shit to do

But she shouldn't have agreed to have gd if she couldn't do it? Or (god forbid) she could have given town a miss for one Friday?

Don't be surprised if she's no longer available to do you favours - you can't just take and not give

But yes, it would have been nice of me - that's why I'm feeling guilty. I never say no.

She can do it. She is doing it. It would have been easier for her though if you had helped her a bit.

I don't think YABU, but you might find that she is no longer available to do the school run.

I don't get why she said she'd look after her granddaughter if she already had plans.

To be honest I prefer to have friends who sometimes say " no , I'd rather not".. I trust them so much more than friends who smile and agree the whole time.
