Dumping of Responsibility

I had the experience recently of being dumped with a friends child (one of four) all for the search of her finding her 'potential' partner who happens to live over 4 hours away (never mind she has an eight week old  baby of yet another different partner who never sees the kid as he is just too dangerous)... Never mind that Easter is approaching and all she can think off is how to get a bit. I was deeply annoyed that the child was forced upon us and I was continually hounded to take the child as he needs a break. Never mind I have three children quite young of my own to contend with and all i can think of doing when i have a break for a day is sleeping and catching up on some well earned zzzzz's.  I am unsure what to think of the situation and found the three days the person was here quite hard. It made me realise that even though I may be clucky, hearing a new born baby crying makes me instantly feel like running, that my own kids are good kids and I am quite lucky they go to bed early and that they are polite and would never say anything disrespectful to another human quite as much as what has been suffered the last few days.  I had another friend come stay around Christmas and she also found smoking and drinking out the back of my house was far more important that caring for her two children (she did have a third but had walked out on it in QLD as it became too difficult to handle).  Yet this woman had the balls to then proceed to have ago at me for having a 'snooty' attitude after i had taken her in, fed her and her kids and been her house slave for a few weeks. One word comes to mind however i have promised myself that any rude words will be contained in my brain and not on paper. So back to the first person, i received a message mid afternoon saying 'wish me luck' however not a sign of how is my kid doing etc etc... I wonder where the priorities lie there.  I am sure it is not only me that thinks of checking on their child when they have been placed somewhere they don't know and so far away from me. I worry when my kids are only around the road at school... Mmmmm... maybe i am just to protective. My husband claims i am simply too much of a nit picker. Better that than a laid back, chain smoking, alcoholic parent that lets and leaves their kid anywhere.
