Have a 2 year old DD and volunteered to look after her 2 year old friend plus 6 month old baby brother while her mum went off to a meeting. Another friend of ours (who has a 2 year old and a 4 month old baby came to help out).
I'm just wondering if I'm a bit precious or is this okay?
Friend tells us 2 year old DD is fully potty trained, but she ends up peeing everywhere in my house including my bed . And when collected by her Mum, her mum says that she is fully potty trained, but just doesn't tell you when she needs to go .
6 month old is crying desperately and I realise that he is probably hungry. My friend who is helping me babysit tells me to hold off giving him any milk until all the children are ready to have a nap so he can nap with them. But the baby was screaming and I insisted on giving him his milk when he wanted it.
Friend then put her 4 month old in my bed to sleep, despite me having put out a mattress on floor for the babies, and then she half covers him with our duvet.
At nappy change, she also left him on our changing table and said he didn't know how to roll yet.
I know it's been a while since my DD was a baby, but I thought that you should never leave them as they might roll anytime. And never cover them with a duvet.
I've also found out that my friends leave their children in the car when they are sleeping to go to the shops, etc.
I've never done any of these things with my DD. Am I being a bit precious, and should I lighten up a bit, or are my Mum friends just a bit ose?
