For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 18, 2011

So not helping!

Oh, let Lizzie get to interact with kids her own age!

I agree. Thanks for offering, but Lizzie will be fine. Don’t let one day of attitude make a decision for you. Be the adult and make the right decision for you and your family!

Thanks but no thanks. Nice to offer but conditional offer is worse than none at all.

I know this may be a repeat, and there may be more too follow, but this brings up painful experiences of relying on “friends” for help. I finally resorted to telling certain ones to “don’t offer if you don’t mean it”. That usually ends whatever friendship was there.

Yep do not rely on friends or family to replace a professional – such as babysitter, home repair, etc. OK to help each other out, but there are very good reasons to use professionals – the exchange of money tends to take any hurt feelings out of it and makes it more dependable

I guess I don’t understand paying to put your child in daycare so you can volunteer and receive no pay.

Night-Gaunt: You must have been over-privileged – like Obama.

Glad it’s not any trouble!

That’s totally hilarious!!!!!

What you had is quite similar to Obama’s childhood and he is being charged with growing up over privileged. Don’t you get irony? I may press charges before the irony board.
