BABYSITTER HELP

[stacey892871]

So my DS was babysitting last night for a friend of mine, everything good, end of night my friend asks him if he would be able to babysit next saturday, he says he is sure he can but will check with me.
Then this morning I received a text from another friend saying would DS be able to babysit Saturday.

Usually he would just do 'first come first serve' but he feels loyalty to the mum who texted me, he has babysat there for ages and they have a good relationship and so doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want to offend either.

Would it be unreasonable to cancel on the person he said yes to first? Also they are going out together which makes things more complicated!!!!

OP, you're making this way more complicated than it needs to be. He has accepted a babysitting job from Person A. That's all there is to know. Any subsequent job offers get turned down as he's, you know, busy. Stop faffing around with giving first dibs to close friends and stuff!

He should stick with the one he has said yes too, but given the two mums are going out together (I think?) he could offer to have them all in one house if they get someone else in to help him / if the kids all get on / if they pay him more (if he can do all 7 alone -depends on the kids but is a handful). Kids would probably regard as an exciting sleepover party!
