Bit of an awkward one.
Dad asked if he could leave mindee's car seat here yesterday. My husband answered the door to him and said yes, that was fine.
Dad turns up this morning with car seat out of van and on doorstep again. He's a delivery driver and obviously has a huge amount of parcels to deliver this time of year. Yesterday was fine, I have quiet Wednesdays and Fridays. But today is one of my busiest days, my cleaners are coming and I have several other things going on. I told him that I couldn't always store his car seat as I have lots of kids here (before and after school), cleaners are here today and other things going on.
He looked as though I'd just stamped on his cat! I backtracked and offered to store it upstairs on a bed today and said Wednesdays and Fridays would be fine.
My questions are; do you store large items for families? Was I a cow bag to tell him no in the first place (honestly, he looked like he was about to cry!)?
We're a large family (5 and a cat and dog!) and the house is cluttered enough with pushchairs and other minding things. I don't think I mentioned that I also offer a storage facility in my leaflet!!!
Am I being a horrible person?!?
