Oh this is so annoying .. I have a well-defined cultural guilt complex that tells me I always have to say yes when people need a favour.
DS (7)is catching up on sleep from a camp-out on Saturday and friends over Sunday and has been grumpy but is coming out of it. Tonight he has art club till 5 then comes home for an hour and a half and goes to Woodcraft ... I like that break to be really relaxed and calm
Friend A called yesterday and asked if I could pick up her son from his football club at 4.30 .. I apologised and said I couldn't but would do if she couldn't find someone else.
So she asked Friend B, who obviously said Yes but has just said to me at school drop-off "If I don't get back from my appointment in time then of course you can come and get the boys" (meaning A's son AND B's son)
And I said 'Sorry, no I won't' and she gave me a look like I was the rudest person on earth and now I feel really guilty
and it's going to ruin my farkin' morning now feeling guilty
