I had to send two unpleasant emails already today and it's only 930. NO MORE.

First one was a parent of one of ce's friends.. I felt she was trying to take advantage of me and have me watch her 2 kids (middle school and elementary school-- so two totally different release times) for FREE.. or "in exchange of hours" .. I don't need a babysitter. like ever. and if i did it'd be during the hours she wants me to watch her kids each day.. So I sent her a message today telling her to pay me or no (OK I said it WAY nicer LOL)

Then ... I had to email ex bf..................... -.- always a fun day. He's still listed as my guest for my brothers wedding in like 2 weeks. So I had to be pleasant.. and.. ask if he still wanted to go.. while repeating that i didnt want him to come but was being polite.. :giggle

uggggggh

maybe they'll both ignore me. problems solved.
 
Can't. Wait for your responses do keep me updated I'm intrigued now,I hate confrontation to so good for you having the courage to do it
 
I hate those types of convos too! Thank God we can do that stuff over email now. I'm even worse with actually picking up a phone!
 
so far my wish for silence has been granted... lol. let's keep it that way.
 
Not fun, La. But, I'm proud of you for sending the one to that other mom. Free babysitting from a friend is for the occasional doctor's appointment or other errand that needs to be done. When it's all day everyday (or every other day), you need to be compensated for the insanity.
 
I don't like confrontation either, so yah, right there with you. I'm to the point where I dislke phone calls from people I don't concider close friends or close family, I'd much more prefer emails or txt on my phone.

Hope they are nice back and problems solved! :)
 
Gah i avoid talking to EVERYONE on the phone.. LOL. no likey. the mom just wrote me back and said she completely understood the situation and it would not be a problem to pay me AND even said I could watch them at her house (which is a stress reliever in and of itself. 3 kids in my house would make me want to jump out the window. she's still trying to figure out the schedule stuff but i feel wayy better now.

the other one, pfft.. lol he can keep being silent.
 
That is the wonderful part of email. I hate confrontation and at least in email I feel more confident. Good luck!
 
I hate conflict, too, La. I'm glad she was nice about it and the situation worked out well. Sometimes it's worth facing conflict head on. {but sometimes it's worth hiding from it, too}
 
Glad to hear she took it so well and you are now working out a deal that works out for both of you!
 
I hate that stuff too. But yay because you stood your ground on the babysitting thing. Glad the mom was receptive. At least with email you can think about your words first and it takes the face to face part out of the equation. You can fake a little confidence you might not have lol.
 
glad you got a positive response! that's tough to get the nerve up, but it seems like it worked out for you! :tu
