I befriended a woman from dd's school who is a single mum to one dc. I felt sorry for her due to her circumstances, as she'd fled an abusive marriage.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, this woman works full time and needed someone to house sit whilst the gas man came to fix the boiler. I took my 3 yr old and waited all day at her house last month and no one came. Then she rescheduled during half term and told me that's the only appointment they had, so I stayed at her house 8 hours with 3 kids waiting and only one repair man came to fix her fans, but gas man didn't come until I was leaving. I rescheduled for her for them to come after 6pm when she's back from work the next day and it apparently got done .
This morning at 9, she phones me and i thought she was phoning to say hi and how are you, but no, she's at work and she thinks she hasn't put the handbrake on her car and if I could go and have a look. . I told her I have a busy day ahead and I need to go and see my dad aswell but she starts making panicky noises in the phone so i told her I'd go and have a look.
Now I know it must be hard being a single mum and I sense she has anxiety issues, but the handbrake thing has pushed me over. I offered her help because I saw she was worried, but This is getting a bit weird now. I don't want to be mean but I don't want her taking advantage either. Is she?
