taking advantage

Well I am sure we all have had people take advantage of us.  Yesterday trying to do something nice for an old neighbor I agreed to watch her 6 month and 3 year old while her and hubby went to a retirement dinner for a co-worker.  Upon arriving at the house at 1030 am.  I was surprised to see that his 8 year old son from the first marriage was also included.


Unfazed I sent them on there merry way.  I had to immediatlry clean and sanitize the kitchen as it was so gross I didn't even want to lay my purse down.  6 hours later they arrived home and asked if they needed to pay me.  I said yes.... after a bunch of thought and hemming and hawing they didn't know how much.   I just wanted out at this time and said just give me 20 bucks.


There was no thank you for the cleaning of the house .  She thanked me for watching the  kids. She called today I thought she was giving me a belated thank you for cleaning her house.  all she asked is where the strap was for the highchair.  I never seen a strap.  I just washed and sanititized  I don't how many months of food out of it.


I think I have sucker wrote on my head.  I am not saying yes to one of these favours again.
