I have one child who started school full time in September. My husband & LO's dad works full time so the idea was that I would go back to work part time once she was in reception. However, he left in October. I'm now a single parent "stuck" on benefits because there's no way I can work full time and afford childcare for my LO before and after school.
We have these neighbours, (a married couple with two children aged five and seven ish), who both work and they keep asking me if I can take their kids to school with me and/or collect them from school. They have never once offered to return the favour.
It's starting to really irritate me but I am quite easily irritated(!) and was wondering if I'm overreacting?
I was flattered at first that someone trusted me with their kids but now I feel they're taking the pee.
What do you think?
