So I offered to watch a friends boys tonight because she had some ceremony thing to go to. No problem. She dropped them off at 5:30 and said she would be back around 11. (it is a little over an hour away) I got a call from another friend who was there with her at 11:45 telling me that she was on her way. It is now 2:14 in the freakin morning and she STILL ISNT HERE!!!! she doesnt have a cell phone so I have no way to reach her. My other friend isnt answering his phone and I have NO idea what the f*ck to do. The baby is asleep but her 6 yr old is STILL AWAKE waiting for mommy to get here. I feel bad because he has been asking since 10:30 for her and I told him she would be here in a little bit. I am so pissed... and also worried. What should I do??
Update: Now that it is almost 3 she finally shows up saying that it just took that long to get here!!! I have made that drive many times and it does NOT take 3 hours. So I told her to take her kids home put them to bed and lose my number cause im NEVER doing shit for her again. Thank you guys for the help!!
ummm put the kid to sleep and tell her to pick him up in the morning
try telling the 6 year old that if he goes to sleep, then when he wakes up his mommy will be there (used to work on the kids i baby sat back in the day). and then i'd, personally, go to bed myself. if she has a home phone call her in the morning and let her know that next time she needs a sitter to look else-where and that her babies are waiting for their mommy.
put the kid to bed ant tell him /her mommy will be back when you wake up in the morning
That sounds like a person taking advantage of your good nature. She is probably out partying somewhere. Poor little boy. Just give him huggs and tell him just to rest, not sleep if he don't want too. He will probably crash once he settles down to "rest". Hopefully his mom is ok and on the way.
Lay and watch a movie with the 6 yr old ... maybe you both can get some sleep till she gets there..
You've been suckered. unless she's unconcious in the hospital, there is NO excuse. What a b*** to leave you and her kids. Put the 6 yr. old to bed and she will probably show up in the morning saying she figured you were all asleep and didnt want to wake you. Do you know anyone else to call? A relative or anyone?
i agree with everyone. a good family friend use to do this to me. say she'd be here at 11 and didn't come til sometime around 2. her poor 4 yr old DD would sit here and stay awake waiting for her no matter what i told her. her mom was too busy partying to care...jerk. i told her off and i no longer babysit for her bc i think i would kill her if she did it to me and her daughter again, it's terrible. i hope his mommys ok and maybe this is her problem right now and that nothing else it wrong! goodluck

I only have her house number and nobody is answering there. Sad to say but at this point all I can think is that the b*tch better be in a hospital at this point. And its hard with the 6 yr old because of his Autism he has a hard time really understanding what I want him to do. I am at my wits end.
