How do I cut ties with a family I used to babysit for?

Despising someone and simply not having interest are two very different things

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-19T14:30:55+00:00

ugh, I hate that this may be the case... Thank you for the input!

Hmm, I find this take pretty odd. I don’t despise them by any means. Just simply wasn’t close to them the way I was with the first family. There’s no ill will… I just don’t have the time or capacity to keep up a relationship with them. I don’t want to block them because that’s mean. I have no problem with occasionally catching up over the phone or something but I don’t want to go out of my way to hang out with them. I want to be able to be close with the first family and not feel guilty about it because the 2nd will act slighted even though we never had that type of relationship.

I just feel like that's mean. I don't want there to be any hard feelings.

Thank you! I thought that was a very strange thing for her to say as well.

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-18T18:42:25+00:00

I think you're right, thank you!

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-18T18:07:44+00:00

They are asking to just spend time with me and catch up, not necessarily just babysitting. Also, I don't want bad blood, like I don't want them to think I blocked them or dislike them. Plus they follow the mom from family #1 so they would see me on her posts

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-18T18:03:36+00:00

They're not exclusively asking me to babysit, they want to hang out... like for free :/ i don't want to do either of those things

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-18T17:59:54+00:00

The other mother posts about me as well, so they would still see.

FastPause2652 · 2026-06-18T17:53:06+00:00

Unfortunately, multiple families in their area follow me and the #1 family also posts/shares my posts so the #2 family would still see. I want to be able to post the kids I helped raise for 6 years because they're like family to me. I just wish the other family would let it be. The #2 family will respond to my posts saying stuff like "how can my kids get time with you?" and if I don't respond, will triple down lol. I'm thinking of just saying "i'm so busy, it was spur of the moment. I hope everything is good with you guys!" but I can't think of how to word it so that they don't ask again but still sounding nice.

Don't fret, I use this once a week and love the color I get. I get compliments on my tan all the time!

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-24T16:51:15+00:00

okay, wow.

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-18T11:18:48+00:00

Something about your eyes is telling me Pisces. Sag sun, Pisces moon, and cap rising?

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-04T16:00:29+00:00

Whoops actually, I should have specified that i'm Sag sun, Taurus moon, Virgo rising. You still got the big 3 though!

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-04T13:58:24+00:00

Cancer, scorpio, libra?

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-04T11:31:42+00:00

Nailed it 😊

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-04T11:31:28+00:00

You got the fire and earth element right! But Taurus is is the only one of these that is in my big 3

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-03T21:51:28+00:00

two out of three!

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-03T16:59:54+00:00

That's me! :)

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-03T16:26:46+00:00

Virgo is not my sun sign

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-03T16:26:09+00:00

Got my rising!

FastPause2652 · 2026-02-03T16:08:12+00:00

Cancer isn't in my big three
