Entitled Mother forces me to babysit for free, so I expose her scheme to her husband.

Here's what happened.

Years ago, this new neighbor of mine, she had recently moved to a house on the next street over,

kept trying for the better part of a summer to use me as a free babysitter.

It started when her kid, who was a really cute well-behaved kid around

seven years old showed up at my door at 715 in the morning. We were all just waking up and

getting around so I told him that my boys weren't ready to play

yet and to come back in a few hours.

That's when the kid told me his mom had gone to work.

This seemed a bit odd to me, so I brought him in and tried to call his mom.

This was the time of only landlines.

Sure enough, she was gone.

So I brought him in and fed him breakfast.

He stayed with us the rest of the day and he got along well with my two boys who were five and ten.

I had only talked to his mom about two times so I have no idea why she would think this was a good idea.

When his mom came home I walked him over so I could idea why she would think this was a good idea.

When his mom came home, I walked him over so I could talk to her.

I told her not to do that again.

I told her that I would be willing to watch him on occasion if asked first, but not every day. Her response was, well what do you have to do all day? This kind of took me by surprise. I tried to tell her that I work at home on commissions. She rolled her eyes and told me that being an artist

isn't a real job and besides I was married so I didn't need to work. I should have

pointed out to her that she was married and working, but I felt myself getting angry and I didn't want to argue with her.
