Its my own fault entirely so dont feel that you have to say there there or owt.
I am every ones best friend it seems.
I have 8 gorgeous lovely God children who i adore. Obviously i cant see them all all of the time and any way the oldest is now 18 and has just gone to Uni (i miss her terribly, we are evry close) the youngest is just 1. They vary in age and distance form me.
I babysit youngest God daughter every week, her mum & dad have no family round here and so i give them a break. I have her at other times too. She sooths my soul and i absolutely adore her.
Another friend with 2kids, i am picking them up from school next week, giving them tea, then taking them home when DH gets in, putting them to bed so that my friend can go to a show & for a meal with her dh. We also have her son to sleep over a few times a year as he and my ds are great buddies.
I have my neice & nephew, take them on days out with us as they dont get to go anywhere with my sisters. (a WHOLE other thread)
Yet not one of them, none of them ever offer to have my ds, take him to the park, babysit for us so that we can go out occasionally.
Friend with the 2 kids seems to tolerate my ds, and i get the impression that her dh really doesnt like him too much. My boy is and always has been boystrous, their children are somewhat quieter.
We ahev a lovely family life, i ALWAYS put my son to bed and read him a bedtime story before i go out babysitting and have friends boy on sleep overs as its company for my ds, as well as allowing them to go on an evening out.
I jsut secretly wonder why it all has to be one sided.
ok selfish moan over.
