Just be Straight Forward

Published by mommyto2 at 10:33 pm under Letters to Others Edit This

Dear Friend,

When you asked me yesterday to watch your kids, I gladly obliged.  You had a church potluck at 6:3o and wanted me to watch the boys for a “couple” hours.   You said the potluck usually lasted 2 hours.

Today you let me know that you would bring the boys by at 4:30, which seemed a little early to me, until you disclosed that the “party” was at your house.  I’m not mad, but I would have appreciated all the facts up front.  It is 2 days before Christmas, and my kids do usually go to bed at 8:00 (which you know) so I can’t help but feel a little taken advantage of.  In the future, if you need my assistance, please let me know your true intentions up front or…call someone else.

I hope you’re having a good time (It’s now 9:30) and hope you know that it is NOT okay for your kids to spend the night.  See you soon (hopefully).

Your friend,

Shelly
