Last year I used to babysit for a little girl and got quite attatched to her and then I left to go to London and promised to visit. However a year on I never visited hrer and I feel really bad but I'm back living at home now and so I could visit her because she lives very near me. Its her birthday in September so should I go round after a year of promising to do so or do you think its too late and her family will think that its pointless?? Thank You

A lot depends on the kid; she may be really confused by why you're now turning up and probably remembers little about your original promise. Conversely, if you're willing to put in a couple of visits I'd pretty much guarentee that she'd quickly regain the close relationship you had originally. The best thing would be to be honest with her family and tell them how bad you feel about letting things slip but that you really want to get the relationship back. Good luck!!

Go and visit her. I bet that would be a great birthday surprise for her. I'm sure they'll understand that you have a life and can't really visit exactly when you said you would, but as long as you visit at some point, I doubt they'll think it's pointless. Go see your friend!

Call her parents and say would be it be okay for you to go over with a gift for a birthday, they'll tell you straight. Or if you don't want to do that mail her a birthday card and let the family know you'd like to see them.

Go visit, because you'll regret it if you dont. Remember people that make a good impact on children are never forgotten and missed, so my advice is go see her and dont lose contact. Take her the best prezzie ever and say that your sorry you havent been to see her. Its that easy.

Awh, thats so sweet. I think if it was me I would sound the family out about how they'd feel if I came, and then if they were ok with it then I'd go and make that little girls birthday extra special! Hope it all goes well for you.

Hey this seems like a good time to reconnect. Hopefully the child will remember you if not , let the parents no theat you are still interesting in being in their child life and is open to babysit for them somes . That is if this is purely on a clean and pure freindly relationship . No funny stuff please.

Definatly go- u will regret it and feel bad if u don't. Because u've come they won't think bad of u- they will think it very good u remebered and kept ur word. not pointless at all, she will be happy to see u no matter how long shes waited.

You have nothing to lose by trying. The worst they can do is ask to leave. It is never pointless getting back in contact with old friends.

Better late than never. Go see her and just tell her you are sorry, but were busy. Go before her birthday, though. Then go again on her birthday.

Go for it, it's never too late to show you care. She would be sooooo happy to see you, trust me ! Kids are like that, it doesn't matter how long it takes, they will always be happy to see you if they care about you. You'll make her day extra special if you go .
