l2hvn Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 i have a dilemma and hope you can give me sound advice. my bf asked me to babysit his daughter (she lives with the mother and is only with him one weekend/month) for one night so he could take his bestfriend from out-of-town. it's this thanksgiving week. i said i can't answer that question right now. he got disappointed as he thinks it wouldn't be a problem. saturday, i have a wedding to go to. and friday will be my shopping day. he wants to take him out on friday night. im torn because i would like for him to entertain his friend as they hardly see each other at all. but at the same time, it's a holiday weekend (i have my own family functions to go to). and im not quite sure it's right that i'll be stuck at home with his daughter while he's out partying with his friend. am i being selfish here?
Art_Critic Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 He should get a real babysitter if you are not comfortable doing it.. that way you both can go out and party.
bab Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 (she lives with the mother and is only with him one weekend/month) One weekend a month? He should at least be willing to wait until his daughter is in the bed to go out, then he can hire anybody.
Author l2hvn Posted November 21, 2005 Author Posted November 21, 2005 He should get a real babysitter if you are not comfortable doing it.. that way you both can go out and party. his daughter's already 11 yrs old. i don't think he's willing to hire a babysitter (he has a problem with trusting people) just for that night --- that's why he was asking me to spend one night with her... trust me, i am dying to go out as well but i just don't think it's appropriate. as you can see, i haven't really exactly formed a bond with his daughter as i hardly see her at all.... i'm torn....
