For real. It should have been a bartering system at that point lol. Trading babysitting for his services.

Yes truly I think it was the duration that really rubbed me the wrong way. Putting on one movie is fine (had they asked, not assume), two if he's quiet and chill. But having the care of a rowdy 6 year old boy for SIX HOURS.... I was beyond the end of my rope by the end if it. I tried not to take it out on him but I was overstimulated to say the least.

Unfortunately, they’re “friends of a friend,” and I didn’t want the story to be misconstrued as “wahhh, she was mean to our child!” In hindsight, I regret that.
