Playdate

I am attempting to be a good mom today. So far, not so great. I am babysitting the Nice Mommy's daughter, while she attends our other children's field trip. I picked C. and N. up from school on time. (Good job) I walked them home since N. didn't have a car seat (Good job). I crossed at the crosswalk to ensure the safety of this child. (Good job). I made lunch. (Good job). I encouraged them both to use the potty. (Good job).

Now here's where I fall. I didn't make them eat all their sandwich before I gave them candy, they watched an hour of TV and I let them have matches. (ok, not really) I think Mommy is a "no TV" Mommy. She's also a no sweets Mommy. I'm SURE she's a NO fire Mommy too. I did not interact any more than I had to and spent most of the time watching the clock til the Mommy came. Hopefully after she hears what an irresponsible parent I am she won't ask me again. Here's hoping.
