Ok, first of all, I am 27 years old and I have 3 children of my own. (2 are in school) I have been helping my friend out for over a year now. Her and her husband make good money... she just got the job last year, but they have dug themselves so far into debt they cannot pay for "real" childcare. I'm talking about a new truck for $600 a month.... a leased vehicle for $750 a month for 4 years, payday loans, a title loan on another truck they still have, ATV payment, credit cards... list goes on and on. (They have 4 kids.... I watched the younger 2...others were in school) Anyways, their bills shouldn't be a concern but they are and this is why. I live on base.. I watched their girls for DIRT cheap. Well, I'm not certified and someone said something so I had to immediately stop watching them or get in trouble. They got very very mad and I haven't talked to them since. I was just wondering how people can expect things from other people like that? Its sad cuz I've done so much 4 them

On a military base you do have to be certified to care for other peoples children in your home...

You don't need to be certified to babysit, its not like you are running a full time daycare or something.
They are mad because they haven't stepped back to look at the situation. They feel like you have done something wrong to them and that can't be farther from the truth. Maybe write them a letter stating the facts like you have done them a huge favor by babysitting for over a year for very little money. This saved them enough money to buy cars and other stuff. Tell them you are sorry that you have lost a friendship but the fact of the matter is, is that they took you for granted. It is not making them look any better by talking bad about you. Tell them that you enjoyed watching their kids, but its time for them to face the music and find daycare like every other parent does.

You must stand again a take a appear at what you are doing. He has justifiable intent to be worried. If the one intent you didn't have courting was once distance - and if the emotions have been truly - why might you marry anybody else?? And how are you able to anticipate you fiance to be given that you've a "fine buddy" with the ones emotions. Your husband (or fiance' on the time) must had been your fine buddy. So it kind of feels that your husband simply happenned to be nearer - that kinda sucks. If I have been him, I might now not have married you - particularly should you desire to retain a "fine buddy" courting with anybody you might had been in a courting with. What if he movements and finally ends up residing practically you? What might you EXPECT your husband to think approximately that? You mentioned the your "ex-fine buddy idea exceptional. It took him awhile to recover from it" - do you suppose the ones sort of emotions without problems depart? You haven't any proper to be mad.

You know in your heart that you helped all that you could, if they are so selfish then let them be.
