I have been a mug. I know I have. But AIBU to think asking someone to babysit on friday night doesn't mean all of saturday morning as well?

Because I said yes to a friend asking me to babysit her 18 month old on friday night (at mine, for free)and I stupidly didn't give her a pick up time but assumed she would be home in the morning for me to drop him off (she lives down the road).

Now, she is still not home, I have been round twice now, and I had plans for the morning.

I am kicking myself for not saying to her "yes but you'll need to pick him up at 9 as I'm going out in thie morning".

But would you just leave your baby for this long? And would you not bother contacting at all? I don't have a phone number for her, she promised me she would contact me yesterday with a contact number for her but she never did...

Boffin - come on give us some clues about borderling negligent Sleb. Please, pretty please.

OMDB - I wouldn't babysit for her again. Next time she won't be back until dinnertime, the cheeky mare.

I never would, Crack, but we are talking about an actress.

She was also totally pissed during the phone call and it culminated in her sobbing about the state of her second marriage to me, a complete stranger.

Yeeugh and quite sad.

This is one of the reasons I have a new life hiding in libraries being a Boff. Too much human tragedy and sad little children in the old life.
