  • The only time I get to myself is when I’m in work…..I still look after my friends children if they asked…..Yes I think you are in yhe wrong especially if she does you favours!!

  • Yep if you want other ppl to help you sometimes you have to sacrifice what your doing for others unfortunately. If I was your mate I’d be pissed off and probably wouldn’t help you out again

  • If I was your friend.. I’d be leaving you kids at school next time you’re running late ?
    Do you work ?
    Why do you need all those hours to yourself?
    if there’s a good reason she may understand. But by first saying yes and then changing your mind. I’d be pretty pissed off with you.

  • It works both ways, you can’t expect to take, take, take and not to give when she needs help. She starts to drive she may even help you pick up kids up and drop em off.

  • I’m not a single mum but my partner works full time so I’m left with our three kids most of the time on my own. My close friend has helped me out with things and when she said she would need to find someone to watch her daughter for her driving lesson when she resumes them, I offered because she’s on her own most of the time as her partner works away. I never have time to myself but if she is your friend and has helped you out I’d be a bit annoyed if the favour wasn’t returned.. especially if she doesn’t often ask for favours but frequently helps you x

  • Yes, she has every right to be pissed off. So what that your a single mum to three children. If your friend is always helping you out, you should return the favour.

  • Sorry but I’d say you are unless you have a genuine reason for cancelling. Not just because you want the time to
    Yourself. She helps you out by picking your kids up when you ask the least you could do
    Is return the favour while she has a driving lesson. You might find next time you need her she won’t help you.

  • I’d be pissed off with you if you were my friend too. I’m sure you she don’t need you every morning. As a friend you should help her out where you can.

  • Yes u are… u cant have your cake and eat it…
    If she helps you you should help her. She is asking for 3 hours of your help not 3 days! U have 4 other days of the week where your kids are at school x

  • I bet once she has learnt to drive and has her own car you wouldn’t mind getting in it.. your in the wrong, she helps you now you help her out.

  • I think you are been very selfish by not helping your friend out…..hopefully she will see sense and stop ciollecting your child from school if you can’t play ball

  • If your friend is helping you then least you can do is help back.
    I’d be pissed off with you too tbh and would see it as quite selfish…happy to take the help but don’t want to help the same person back

  • What are your reasons for canceling? If its just because u want time to yourself then yes i think you should help her out… just my opinion 😊

  • You kind of owe her, do you not think? Also, kids are in school for more than 3hrs, so it’s not like you won’t have any time to yourself.

  • Yes u r if u was my mate I’d be really pissed of if u only said no cause u want time to ur self then that’s selfish it’s only for 3 hours not like its every day

    Reply
  • It seems one sided. It’s OK for her to help you,but you can’t help her?Why can’t you give up one morning a week to help her out?

    Reply
  • I’m assuming this isn’t event morning she wants you help ? If so I think you are wrong why should she help you if you won’t help her

    Reply
  • Yes , yes you are! Good luck with her helping you the next time you are late. Dont agree to something if you have no intention of doing it.

    Reply
  • Yes it’s a few hours one day if she helps you out the least you can do is help her.

    Reply
  • Yes she’s your friend she’s helps you so why not help her I’m a single mum to 4 but would help any of my friends out anytime

    Reply
  • She wont be learning to drive too long. Whereas she has been picking your kids up for more than a few weeks or months id imagine. Yeah you sound selfish. Sorry. Watch the kid a couple of hours. Unless you have other plans that arent ‘time to yourself’ it sounds selfish.

    Alot of taking and fuck all giving.

  • Yes you are in the wrong… You may find she won’t help you out anymore??? If it’s a one off what’s 3 hours between friends??

    Reply
  • I’d be pissed off to I’m a single with two who works and still helps my mate with childcare as that’s what mates do

    Reply
  • Yep. Youre being selfish. 3 hours for one day is not going to send you to the looney bin. You get every other day to yourself wtf is 3 hours going to do other than return an overrun favour to her?The joys of kids is never having time to yourself. Add up the total time she takes to come to yours and collect your kids and take them to school because you cant get ready on time.
    She passes her driving test she can help you out more . Suck it up and look after her kids otherwise when youre running late she might find she doesn’t have time
