Friends or Not...

I have several friends of the mommy type. I am sure they would be willing to help me out if I needed it and some actually have. Lately though I just feel like I am being used as the neighborhood babysitter. Yesterday I had two moms use me as their backup in case they couldn't make it to the school in time to pick up their kids. One mom made the arrangement on Sunday and she actually made it to school on time. The other called at 10:55, school gets out at 11:30. No big deal right. Except she didn't come pick her kid up until 3:00 p.m. I know she got in a bind with car repairs and such, but really, 3 1/2 hours! I love this friend dearly, but I am always bailing her out. I watch her kids all day while she goes on vacation and I help her a lot. I've only asked her for help a few times, and when it's convenient she does help. I think I'm tired. Did I also mention that a few weeks ago I had 4 neighbors just dump their kids off to play on a Saturday. Ben and I were outside with the kids and they just sent their kids over to play. Really? I would really like to move about now. I need some real friends, not just the kind that are needy.
