Heavens no. I hope your reply to him gets across the message that he is being very rude, as well as inconsiderate.

No YANBU. I think when you feel a bit calmer you should have a chat with him about this. He is taking advantage of you. Also it has to be give and take, he should be able help you out occasionally.

how rude, are all men arseholes?

good god what is going on

id be tempted to reply - bugger off you are taking the piss!

is it possible to start charging for your childcare? then hed value it far more!

i think he is absolutely taking the piss

does he ever do anything to show his appreciation? treat you to dinner? anything like that?

if he needs regular childcare, for long periods he should get a child minder, not take advantage of your good nature and use you as unpaid help

SAy no. He didn't even asked, just assumed you would have them.

Agree, he's taking the piss

Did you ever work with/for him? It sounds like an email from a boss to an employee.

10am - 10pm is a long time to babysit . You need to put your foot down and tell him he is taking the mick big time.

No doubt it is hard being a single parent and I assume he is trying to juggle work with childcare but it is totally unfair to take advantage.

Talk to him Now.

Well, he may be going through a really bad patch, more so the reason for him to be kind and considerate towards you, as he really needs to be able to keep you around.

At the end of the day, the things may be very bad but still... his children are his responsability not yours. He should NOT take you for granted.
