Entitled Mum wants me to babysit her three kids for free.

Says I'm a bad friend.

So I have a distant friend.

She's a friend of a friend kind of deal.

She has three kids.

I have three cats.

Huh?

Her kids are enrolled in a camp very close to my house.

Pickup for the camp is at 4pm. The line for pick up for

the kids is 3pm. Yeah, it can take a really long time to pick up kids at that camp. A big

old line of cars forms up every day to get the kiddies. It's a bit chaotic. Now, here's the story.

This friend of a friend has been using her lunch breaks to fetch the kiddies from camp.

Sometimes the traffic is so bad she's late getting back to work. I'm not sure if she takes the kids with her to work or drops them off someplace, but the situation at work is getting dicey.

She'd like me to take them back to my house, give them a snack or something, and wait for her to pick them up. She thinks it will be much easier to fetch them from my house than the camp, since she has to drive into the camp and I can merely walk. I said, no, I'm not a babysitter. I'm not

a nanny. I'm an artist. I have a job. I work from home, but I have a job. I'm not watching three

kids under the age of 10 for unknown hours and have to provide snacks for them as well. She said that

she would pay me 20 bucks to fetch the kids.

I said, no. I already have 20 bucks, so I'm good. She didn't find this funny, but I sure did.

She tells me, she's a single mom trying to do her best. It takes a village. I'm so close to the camp,
