Friend keeps using me?

Kick her *** to the curb!!!! She definitely sounds like she is using you and you need to look out for NUMBER 1!!! You and your family...your unborn child. This woman should not be coming first. I had to do that once, get rid of a so called friend that used me and was very manipulative. It made my life a lot better after getting rid of the negative in my life that she was causing. She was making me feel awful about myself. You need to tell her I'm sorry but you need to look for another babysitter. As you can see I am very much pregnant and I have my own needs to take care of before someone else's child. I need to take care of my own family. And I'm sure your dad sensed she was not a good person. Get her out of your life. She definitely seems to be like my ex "friend" her needs always come before anyone else's and damn you for not being a loyal friend and doing as she asks.....

Your friend probably is not intentionally using you. However, if you say yes, yes yes to everything she wants - I mean - gee - if I had someone where they always said yes when I asked them to babysit - I'd ask them more often than I would anyone else! Friendship isn't a license for getting all of your needs met - especially childcare! So, this is YOU - you need to establish boundaries and tell her - these are the days and hours that I can help you out - other than that - it's just too much right now. If she's a true friend, then she will totally understand and respect that. If she's not understanding about your needs - she's not really a friend at all. So, if she decides not to be your friend because you set boundaries - it's HER loss!

Wow this girl is very toxic. Cut her out of your life period. So what if she talks about you. Do you know the truth about what kind of person you are? Do your true friends know what kind of person you are? Kick her to the curb you dont need that in you life especially with a new baby on the way. Tell her your done and tired of her taking advantage of you. You need to take control of the reigns or she is gonna walk all over you, and if you let her i guess you get what you deserve.

Talk to your friend directly and don;t say no until u have said what you need to. If your friend actually cares about you she will understand that you have a life as well and that while you want to help her you have to think about whats best for your family as well. Maybe help her find someone else to watch her son. But, don;t let your self be used.

You have to be firm with her and let her know that she isnt the only person on this earth. You have needs too and your not there to wait on her hand and foot every chance she gets to ask you something. A true friend wouldnt be demanding of you in your circumstances. Tell her to go to hell and find someone else to use.

If she was really your friend she would respect your needs!

Be honest with her and tell her you are unable to keep her son due to schedule conflicts. She should be understanding of that. If she is not, then you don't need her in your life anyways.

Put your need and family above her insistance. With friends like that who needs enemies?

Oh the Drama...

Lose her. Lose her now!

You have to look out for yourself and your family. She is like an emotional vampire. You need to take care of yourself and that's not gonna happen as long as you allow this 'friend' to walk over you.

Stop it. Tell her flat-out that she is taking advantage of you and you have to put yourself and your baby, your son, and your husband before her.

If she needs to have someone watch her son on a daily basis, she needs to enroll him in a daycare (and pay for it), or hire a babysitter (and pay for it).

Your responsibility is to your family.

Sweetie, your friend keeps using you - and you keep letting her. You can either put your foot down and not allow it, or continue to let it happen - but do stop complaining about it, since you are at least 50% responsible.

I think you would be better off without this kind of "friend" in your life. Let me guess, she is not paying you for babysitting either is she?
