Basically I get a bit irritated with the parents of one of my mindees asking strange random things of me. None of them are huge issues on their own but I am starting to feel a bit....uncomfortable I think. To date:
- On one of my non working days phoning at tea time and asking if they could pop over and leave X with me for an hour since they needed to take her brother to the dentist
- Texting one Sunday to say X has a fancy dress party, could she borrow an outfit
- Turning up to collect an hour early one day unannounced. When I said she hadnt eaten yet mum said not to worry, she'd take it with her (cue take away roast beef and veg!)
- Phoning to ask me to print out something dad needed for school the next day because he had forgotten to do it at work. I think I feel a bit on-call.
Am I being a grump or are they a bit odd??
