I’m a single parent (two under 10) and have no help at all in terms of childcare nothing. I work full time. I have no family around and kids dad is absent and friends who are not bothered to help. So I don’t ask for childcare help but have a child minder that I pay as and when needed.
A friend of mine randomly offered me help three weeks ago to look after my kids whilst I’m at work, I was going to pay the child minder but she said I will help and our kids can play together.
the issue now is two days ago she ran me asking for me to look after her two girls under 10 for a whole weekend sleepover as they have a party to attend on Saturday. She will drop kids on Friday and pick up Sunday afternoon. she then mentioned that her youngest (6year old) still wets the bed and I have to keep getting up to take her toilet , I have accepted but thinking about it I feel I can only managed the kids to come on Saturday instead of Friday. As I would be really exhausted to look after and entertain 4 kids under 10 for the weekend.
To add she always have family looking after her kids for a week, weekends etc. as for me my kids never been for a sleepover
