To ask friends to come back early to look after their DC?

[zazas]

Friends are going to a wedding this Saturday and I'm looking after their two children. The wedding is at 12.30 and they are staying the night in their campervan. It's about 35 mins from where we live. I have a DD who is the same age as their DD which is why I was asked but she has now had to go away and won't be with us. It's just unfortunate it's this weekend as it would have been a very very rare moment with my DH and DD away and with only my teenage DS in the house to have caught up on myself but it is what it is. Anyway tonight my friend has said that on the Sunday morning they were now going to meet with friends for brunch and will be home early afternoon. I was expecting them home mid morning to be honest. If my DD was with us I could probably stretch the time out but I will have worked over 50 hours this week (because she is away) and need time to get on top of things on Sunday plus get back to my DS. I'm really not being unreasonable to ask them to be home earlier am I?

Ohhh I wonder if they've shown up yet!

"Just to confirm that I need to be somewhere else BY 10.30am so will need you to pick the girls up by 10am so I can leave. OK? x"

[Donttouchthethings]

Oh, is it today?? Sorry, have my sleepy Sunday head on.

[Smallangryplanet]

11:15 - wonder what time they'll show?

[TheBusThatCouldntSlowDown]

My bet is 12.15 with bad grace and a martyred air that the OP has let them down.

[Noteventhebestdrummer]

No sign?

[Gemini69]

they're late already huh

[ThedementedPenguin]

Hopefully they are gone & you can enjoy the rest of your almost child free day

[BarbaraBitchFace]

Ooh I love a 'real time' thread.

Could be they've already collected and OP is now getting on with her day as she did say she's very busy. I hope so anyway!

[AnnetteCurtains]

hope OP has gone out

[RebootYourEngine]

I reckon the OP is still babysitting. The neighbours said that they will try and get back. That to me says that they will find an excuse why they were late when in actual fact they knew that they would be late back.

[Butterymuffin]

Another one who very much doubts they returned on time.

[CremeFresh]

I think they've picked the kids up by now otherwise the Op would be on here ranting !

[Wassock]

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday OP and that the 'pick-up' went as planned 💐
