Ds2 was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night after vomiting up blood and for severe dehydration. On Wednesday morning dh phoned a friend of mine, L, and asked her if she could look after ds3 after preschool as he had to go to work (taking time off would have been very very difficult for him). To put it into context, I have looked after her preschooler on several occasions for less 'serious' reasons such as her going shopping, dentist's appointments etc etc at the drop of a hat.
She told him that it wasn't convenient because she was taking her ds to have his eyes tested. Now personally, I wouldn't have hesitated in the same situation and I feel quite hurt that she didn't feel able to help us out at a worrying and stressful time. I thought we were friends, but I'm questioning whether it's a bit of a one-way thing.
I'm not the sort of person to let things fester and if I'm upset about something I'll generally say so - not in a nasty way, I would just say 'L, I'm feeling a bit hurt that you wouldn't look after ds3, I would have done for you'. But maybe I'm being unfair to her or perhaps I should just keep my gob shut? What does the Mumsnet jury think?
