To think my friend is being a teensy bit unreasonable? DH bored of my rants...

OK, here goes. I've been very good friends with someone for a couple of years now, but have been a bit about a couple of things she's done - driving her 4x4 into the nursery car park whilst on her mobile phone, parking in the keep clear bay outside the nursery and being quite cheeky to someone who challenged her and not using a litter tray for her cat but being happy for the moggie to cr*p in other peoples' gardens.

I kind of turned a blind eye to all that, even though I was a bit taken aback. Then, recently I had a 40th party. She informed me that she wasn't going to ask her FIL to babysit in case her youngest (2) woke up, which would mean she and her DH would have to leave my party (5 minutes walk away), despite the fact that her FIL looks after the 2 year old every Thursday to save her child care costs. Didn't ask anyone else to babysit and refused to come on her own. Okayyyyyyy...

Finally, I look after her eldest every Wednesday after school. She and DD get the school bus home together, but on a few occasions my friend has turned up at the bus stop to pick up her daughter, and tells her in advance that she doesn't have to sit with my DD, that she can sit with whomever she chooses as she isn't going to be looked after by me after school. That leaves my DD with no-one to sit next to on the bus journey, which I no is no big deal to other people, but is to her.

AIBU, or am I being taken for a bit of a mug?!

She doesn't want her dd walking because she is only 7.

Yes, I think I've reached The End Of My Tether here!

You are being a bit of a mug, a nice mug but still a mug. Sorry.

I can accept a lot of shite from friends but I would draw the line when my DC are being affected and hurt by her behaviour.

Tell her you cannot look after her DD any longer.
