Thoughts on this?

Still at work...SO will be picking me up at 8pm and then we're picking up SD18 - she's sleeping at our house tonight.  He just forwarded a text she sent him asking if he would mind taking her friend & baby to the baby's father's house again (I did it last time) cause she's going to have a lot of groceries to take over there tonight and since its snowing and cold, she doesn't want her friend to take the bus.  My first response was f**k cause I'm tired and just want to go home.  Then I said sure cause I don't want an innocent baby out in the cold like this.  BUT - what I want to know is why isn't the baby's daddy coming to get them?  

My SD has a big heart and wants to help her friends - I get that. But she does this stuff to us often.  SO keeps telling her to stop with the last minute requests.    Ok - I'm just tired and cranky I think.  What would you say?

Best bet is to keep my mouth shut in the car so I don't say anything wrong and then take my glass of wine or rum upstairs when I get home.

..for now. Have SO reiterate the inconvenience of the last minute requests to SD. I'm with you- why can't the baby's father help out?

I love it when people are generous - with other people's time and ressources.

I agree, best to keep your mouth shut for now, but maybe tell SD that next time if she wants to help her friend, she could do so herself? Maybe my paying for her friend's taxi or at least by borrowing a car and driving the friend herself?
