to feel pi##d off with neighbour,her 2 kids will be on my doorstep at 8.30am......

[bubblepop]

for me to take them to school along with mine in the morning. she has asked me because
-she's got to cycle to work but her bikes got a puncture,therefore she'l have to walk there,it'l take longer therefore she will have to set off earlier,
gawd,don't want to look like a complete selfish bitch but ive got 4 of my own,im frazzled and stressed enough at that time of morning, 2 of mine are toddlers,(yes i am hassled enough)
but how to be assertive and say no-well i guess im not good at it,and i guess she knows it.....ive got a horrible feeling this is not just going to be a one off favour, but that she may come to rely on me
ggrrrr

Is this mother is good at returning favours? It looks like she's asked other mothers for favours in the past.

I think it's always good to stock up the favour bank, so you know whom to ask when you are stuck. With four children there must be times when you need a break.

I'd walk the children to school occasionally. But also be firm about it not getting too regular - and ask a favour quickly so she gets the message.
