Ok I'm thoroughly prepared to admit I'm being selfish here, just wanted to gauge opinions first!
I'm a teacher in a secondary school so I get great holidays and I'm currently on my six weeks holiday.
I have a friend who lives about an hours drive away and is very heavily pregnant. She's more or less on her own, family don't live in this country, kid's dad doesn't want to know and I've been visiting most weekends to check that she's ok. A few days ago she asked if I'd go and sit with her between 9 and 6 monday to friday while I'm on holiday and my husband is at work, as she's worried about being on her own when she goes into labour. (another friend will pop in from 6 onwards).
I don't have any children so it wouldn't really be a problem, but I really look forward to the holidays for lying in, time on my own to sort the house/garden out, catch up on work etc. If I'm being honest I just don't want to give up most of my holidays. Please talk some sense into me to stop me from being such a selfish cow ...
