Advice from Annie Lane.
My boyfriend of five months has a female co-worker, “Leslie,” who he has known and been close to for five years. She is also a single parent of two kids under 10.
Last week, he asked me to meet him at his work so the two of us could go to lunch. When I got there, Leslie was in a panic because her sitter was sick and needed to go home. Leslie was trying everyone she knew who could babysit. I said no. I apologized to Leslie but said for several reasons, I was not willing to do this. My boyfriend couldn’t understand why I wasn’t willing to help her out.We got into a big argument in the parking lot. I told him I didn’t appreciate being put on the spot like that and him being willing to use me to fill another woman’s needs.Yes, you are correct that putting you on the spot to babysit his co-worker’s children when you were supposed to have lunch was inconsiderate.
