Pawning Off Children

Tweet

Ok, let me start off by letting you know that this is mostly venting, but I wouldn't mind input, either. I have this friend who is single and has a kid. We go shopping together sometimes and she brings her kid along, which is fine, except... Most of the time (pretty much all of the time) she'll pawn her kid off on me and ask me to push him in the cart because "he's more well behaved" with me. Excuse me??? What??? I feel like telling her, "I don't CARE if he's more well behaved with me, YOU decided to give birth to him, YOU decided to keep him, so YOU should take responsibility and DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!!!" She KNOWS I don't want kids and she even knows I don't like them, so WHY does she torture me like this?? I know, I know... I should say something, but I'm just too nice and afraid of offending her and/or hurting her feelings, but COME ON!!! I do NOT enjoy pushing brats around in carts, taking them to the bathroom, or even spending time with them. If I did, I'd have my own!
