One of our neighbours who lives a few doors down the corridor has a 2 year old girl and since my daughter is about the same age, we thought it would be nice for them to become playmates.

I told her mother she should pop in some time for tea and bring her daughter with.

Instead, she came by and dropped the child off for 2 hours while she went to a meeting. So, my daughter's nanny had to babysit both girls and the other little girl is quite aggressive and out of control, so my child ended up crying for me most of the time.

This has now become a habit. The other day she just pitched up unannounced with the child and her diaper bag and wanted to drop her off for a few hours. Luckily my daughter's nanny told her that I am not at home and that she is not allowed to receive any visitors without my consent.

Today again, she pitches up with her daughter and asks if I can take care of her for a few hours. I said it is not possible because I am reluctant to accept responsibility if anything happens to her child while in the care of the nanny.

How can people take such advantage of others? The best of it all is that when I said no, she said OK, took her daughter's hand and walked away without even greeting. WTF? You cannot take care of your daughter and you get pissed off when you want to force her onto someone else and they refuse? Aikona !

Rant over.
 
Yussie, I would have told her to sod off, or given her a bill for your nanny for the period that her child was under her care.
 
So mommy just drops her off at near strangers when it turns out she is suddenly in the way of mommy's plans.

No wonder the kid is aggresive, strange people out there.
 
Swak! Sounds like someone who needs some serious training in being a responsible parent!
 
Stop being friendly to people and just plan their deaths... there's no such thing as humanity anymore
 
Blu, in a case like this i'd switch off my gate intercom so they can't buzz me when they arrive unexpectedly.
 
So who's gonna be the first to start a thread bitching about your inconsiderate neighbour who refuses to help you out by watching your kid...?
 
Invite her in for tea and a chat. Get her story. Find out what's happening in her life. Then make an assessment.

We all start off as strangers.

You might just be in a position to help someone through a rough patch ... and so improve that little part of the planet you find yourself in at present ...

PS. Ignore the misanthropes above.

I do not have time to babysit her child and it is not fair to the nanny that works for me to watch someone else's child too. Also, as I explained, the child is very aggressive.
 
Well done on saying NO blunomore.

Every mother is responsible for their own child, she was making her problems - yours.

She is welcome to get her own nanny !
