I feel really bad :(?

Question

Today I was supposed to babysit, and I thought the person I was babysitting for was going to call me with a time, but I forgot we already agreed on 11-3. I feel really bad because I had already made plans for that time. Tommorow I said i couldn't, but i decided i will since i couldnt today. What should I do? I feel really bad because i babysit them all the time!

Answer 1

If it's not too late you should still go babysit for them today. Otherwise you should offer to do it for free tomorrow and apologize profusely.

Answer 2

I'm sure you already apologized, right? Well, it happens to the best of us that we forget or something slips our mind. If you babysit for these people all the time, then they already know you to be reliable. Apologize again if you like but then let it go. If you're new to them, then just be reliable from now on and they'll want you again.

If you don't already have one, you could get yourself a small date book so you can write down your commitments. Then check each night for commitments you made for the next day.

When I make a commitment, it helps me to repeat the day, date, and time to the person after I write it down just to make sure we're both saying the same thing. (I repeat phone numbers too!)

It'll be OK! :-)

Answer 3

What I would do is babysit them for free tom. to make up for it. They will be extremely glad and probably forget about the whole thing :)
