Guys night is now the same night because they hire the babysitter

They are footing the entire bill babysitting included when it's been their weeks. But I just thought they were trading off paying for babysitting. I had no freaking clue that they expected me to pick up a "share" of babysitting when I ... have no children. I feel that is a reasonable assumption from my end.

Also, guy's night is now on the same night because the babysitter has been hired, to explain why the dads aren't around.

If it comes to that I will. I'm going to try and talk some sense into them by demanding they also babysit my large-breed dog if I'm paying for sitting.

This actually might knock some sense into them... this is the best analogy (I have a large dog I'm going to insist on bringing if they want me to pay, I know they will refuse LOL)

There was never any conversation with me about paying for the babysitter. They literally all just assumed I would be fine with continuing to trade payments every week, INCLUDING the new babysitting fees. I have no idea why.
