As we all know, careless care of children may leave parents with lifelong regrets. If you are a housewife, your husband is committed to making money to support the family, and you teach the children at home, if your neighbor asks you to help take care of the children with pay, will you refuse or agree?
In a blink of an eye, I have been a housewife for two years. A while ago, my neighbor Xiaoyu asked me to discuss it. She said that her children were left unattended and asked me to take care of them.
Although Xiaoyu repeatedly said that it was paid, I thought about it for a while and refused. It is said that "a distant relative is better than a close neighbor", but taking care of children is a very serious matter. Take it well and everything will be fine; If you don't treat it well, your neighbor may become your enemy.
My husband and I are both rural people, and we got married through blind date less than half a year ago. I remember when we got married, we were almost poor. In order to save money, we didn't even have a wedding, but I don't care or regret it, because I always think my husband is a very motivated and responsible man. I believe that as long as we work hard, life will gradually get better.
Less than a month after the wedding, we went to work in the city. At that time, our only goal was to save money to buy a house as soon as possible. In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the two of us postponed the plan to have children.
After working for five years, we finally bought a house and got the first house in our life. We were really excited when we got the real estate license.
Not long after I bought the house, I got pregnant. I wanted to work for a few more months to relieve my husband's pressure. But my husband and in-laws strongly urged me to quit my job and have children at home. Later, I didn't force myself to quit my job and have children at home.
To tell the truth, from my pregnancy, confinement to the birth of the child, my in-laws took good care of me and I felt real warmth.
After having children, our pressure is even greater. I went out to work when the child was one year old, and my in-laws helped the child. However, later, my in-laws became seriously ill and became more and more unreliable. I feel sorry for my parents-in-law After consulting with my husband, I quit my job and stayed at home to teach my children.
Two years have passed, and we have a new neighbor Xiaoyu across the street. She is a single mother with a five-year-old daughter.
As we are neighbors and women, we have more contacts and become more and more familiar with each other.
Xiaoyu divorced her ex-husband for three years, and her ex-husband never gave her living expenses, while Xiaoyu's parents had passed away. In recent years, Xiaoyu has worked hard while taking care of her children.
Sometimes I see Xiaoyu's daughter has no food after school. I felt sorry for her daughter, so I took her home for dinner. Over time, our relationship has become closer.
A while ago, Xiaoyu came to me. She said that her working hours have been adjusted recently, which conflicts with her daughter's school time, so she can't pick up her daughter from school. If she asks for leave every day to pick up her daughter, the boss will definitely fire her.
Xiaoyu means that I take care of my children at home and have free time. She wants me to help her with money. She goes to pick up the children every day, and she says she will give me 30 yuan as a reward every day.
Xiaoyu told me that her salary is 3000 yuan a month, and it may be a little less to give me 900 yuan a month, but she hopes I can help her.
I know Xiaoyu is in a difficult situation, but I thought about it and refused. It's not that I don't want to help Xiaoyu pick up the children, but it's no small matter to take care of them. I'm afraid I'll really be at a loss in case of an accident.
She hasn't been here since I refused Xiaoyu. Even if he met me, Xiaoyu didn't say hello to me, as if he didn't see me.
Some people may say that I am too impersonal, but I think there is nothing wrong with refusing. There are many times in life when you really do bad things with good intentions. I don't want to be a sinner in the eyes of others.
