I already have 3 of my own kids, plus I watch my niece every weekday. A friend of my husbands family wants me to also keep her little boy 3 days a week for a few hours between the time she goes to work and the time her dad gets off work. I have two kids in school, ages 7 and 4 and they go to different schools, at different times. I also have my 3 year old daughter and my 1 year old niece. I agreed to watch the little boy too, but now I regret it. I already have so much on my plate and I really dont want to take on another child. But his mom has been so excited to have me watch him and keeps saying over and over again that they had no other options and she didnt know what she was going to do with him if I didnt watch him. I know its not my job to figure out what they should do with their child, but I feel guilty telling her I cant watch him now. I am a stay at home mom to be with my children, but I have so many other things now, I dont get to spend any quality time with them. What should I do???
