[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 550352, member: 1233"] An emergency or scheduling conflict on someone else's part does NOT mean you need to drop everythng to help them. It was astuondingly rude for your mother in law to inform you that you were babysitting while at a very public event. She likely thought you wouldn't want to say no to her in front of everyone. I am glad that you DID say no. Saying yes to babysitting this way would have opened you up to be the no-notice sitter who is always available and never too busy for them to just drop the kids off whenever they want to. You were NOT a jerkface in ANY way. Well, if you shoved a piece of cake into mother in law's face or poured a drink on her dress 'accidentally', then you might be a jerkface. With a big smile.
