Help please!What to do?

Question

how do you tell someone you don't want to babysit for them? I have a new baby(3mos)and my sister-in-law wants me to watch her 1yr old baby , pick up her 4yr old from pre-school and watch him and take them to her when she's off work.I feel for her because I've been a working mother before and I know how hard it is to find day care,but I tried it one day and it is just to hard...she cries and makes my baby cry...he can't sleep when she's crying...she's up and down my stairs and it's hard to be behind her especially when I'm feeding my baby. Loading and unloading the kids in carseats (4x)is a hassle...Im about to go crazy...do people think that people quit working because they want to watch kids....they should be considerate like when someone just had a baby!

Answer 1

Be honest..tell them you tried it and you know how it feels to be in their shoes but you have your own kids to look after and its just to much for you. If you cant/dont want to watch them you shouldn't have to cause it will make it really hard to enjoy you time with your own babies. hope this helps!
