To feel ambushed into providing child care

[chasegirl]

My ex brother in law has booked a holiday next week for a week. He is a single Dad to my nephew. He had child care sorter, I thought anyway. This childcare turns out to be a bit flakey so he has asked me if I can do a few days to help. It would mean staying at his house cos of their pets. I work full time and have a 6 day week next week. He didn't give ne any warning just turned up this evening to ask

Your EX BIL?
EX??
No way would I get involved.

Why would you feel guilty that he would lose money?

Since it sounds like his request is something you can do, but will be a lot of hassle for you, whether or not I'd do it would depend on how good an ex-BiL he was to me. If he was always friendly and helped out when I needed it, invited me round to gatherings and was generally a positive influence in my life, then I'd probably help. If he only ever got in touch when he wanted something, then I wouldn't.
