WWGPD? (XP from FB)
This is kind of a random post, but I'm looking for input. It's a little bit of an FFC, too.
One of my best friends asked me to watch 2 of her girls on a Saturday in a couple of weeks while she's at work. She always works Saturdays, but the girls are usually with their father on the weekend, so it's never an issue. I love them, and I really don't mind watching them for a few hours. They're 3 and 5 (almost 6).
But.
Her Saturday shifts are usually really long. Like 8 or 9 hours. And she lives an hour away from me. My entire Saturday would be spent getting up in the morning, driving to her house, watching the girls all day, and getting home after dinner. That's a really long day to give up.
Am I a bad friend for even needing to think about this? I feel like I should have just told her "absolutely yes" as soon as she asked instead of considering it (she's been separated for over a year, had to move in with her parents, finally got a job after being a SAHM while married, and really doesn't have the money to pay a babysitter). I guess I'm kind of selfish with my weekends (hence the FFC part).
