To call or not to call???

[PinkCow]

Okay,

So....

I babysit for this lady, who just had a baby, on Saturday.

I havn't called to say Congrats yet.

Woopsie.

When she called to tell me that she had her baby, I wasn't home, so my Mom took the message. Mom told me that she said that she will call me about coming over on Friday.

She hasn't called yet.

So, should I can her tomrrow, and just be like CONGRATS?!?!?!

(I don't expect to go over and babysit tomrrow, maybe just go and v isit, but, maybe because I'm calling on Friday anyways, would it sound like I want to come babysit anyways?)

[PinkCow]

Or,

Should I wait till like noon tomrrow, for her to call?

If she doesn't call by noon, then I'll call, to say Congrats?

I just don't want it to sound like I WANT TO COME OVER TO BABYSIT.

:|

OR,

Maybe I'll just call in the morning.

Decision suck,

Even if they are little ones.

Maybe the best thing that would happen is that she won't answer the phone!!!

haha

that way I can just say congrats and hope to see you soon, as a message on the answering machine without it sounding like I want to come over now.

Ooooo

Send her a baby gift, or even just a card. She's probably too exhausted to talk on the phone right now anyway.

If she called, she wants to talk to you. Like call her and say congrats.

Elf's idea of a card and a baby gift is great.

Even a short call prefaced by saying...I just wanted to call and say hi and congrats. If you start off the conversation with something along that line..you set the tone without it sounding like something more.

But if her friend called to ask her to babysit, don't you think she still would?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I thought Pink doesn't want to babysit, and thus, is nervous to call because she thinks her friend will put her on the spot by asking her to babysit.

Geez, I can't keep up with you guys.

Call her, say congrats, and say, "Let me know when you're up for having visitors. I'd love to see the baby." :)

Ditto to that....

[siouxz72]

yeah! MorningStar knows what's up! :) Call her and let her know you'd like to come visit. Oh and say congrats on the new baby, too.

[PinkCow]

Okay, So I don't feel bad that I called about a week late. :)

I just called her, and she said that she just got back from the hopsitial yesterday, so I would of missed her anyways. :)

Ha

Thanks for the advice!

I can always count of this board!!!!

Ahhh I didn't take it that the person was calling her to babysit. Just to tell her she had her baby. Perhaps I misunderstood.

[PinkCow]

I usually babysit on Friday, and today is a Friday,

That is why I was nervous of calling, because I thought she would think that I was waiting to call on Friday, just so she would ask me to babysit.

If she did, I wouldn't have done it anyways, becasue she just got home but whatever. :)

You are too cute. Glad it all worked out.
