So my aunt passed away a few months ago, she lost her battle with breast cancer after fighting so hard for the past year.
Well when she passed she left behind her daughter who is two almost three now. Now I come into play because I am her godparent. No one else in the family could afford to take care of another child even though they were willing and those who could live out of state.
So now I'm a single parent.
It's been super rough but I love it. My little itty bitty has been keeping me going around the clock these days and is pretty much helping/making me grow up. I've been working my butt off at work finally got a promotion which is definitely helping out big time with daycare cost(400bucks a month what the eff!). Finally I'll be back in school this summer starting night classes with the assistance of my mom watching the little one three nights a week.
Well before my aunt passed away I had already set up a vacation with friends. With no babysitter for the little one I packed a trip for two.
Note: my social life disappeared and I'm not the type that puts my business on Facebook or out in the open. So my friends had no idea that I'm now a parent.
I was the first to the property got me and the little one settled in and we took a nap. Couple of hours later I wake up itty bitty is crying, and I hear music playing. We head down stairs and my friends pretty much freak out. I tell them everything and they were extremely supportive especially the girls offering to babysit or help with picking up the little one from daycare on certain days.
Well my friend Lindsey(the very judgmental and "goody-two shoes" of our little group) did nothing but tried offering advise on how I should raise the little one and kept critiquing everything I did the entire weekend with her(note: I've been raising my daughter for nearly six months before this trip. Lindsey doesn't have any kids and isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer if you know what I mean). Well along with her crap my friend Amanda who is currently engaged and has a child of her own. Kept hitting on me, even though her fiancee was there with us! Now she was doing this before all of this happened her relationship has been going down hill for a while and she just won't end it. In high school we were close and things should've happened between us but never did.
The same also for my friend Emily who is also a single parent. Just kept trying to get my attention, and trying to get me alone. Now when I'm with my daughter I don't let her out of my sight. So getting me alone is not going to happen.
Since the trip the texting and calling has gotten very annoying especially from Lindsey, very uncomfortable from Amanda, and with Emily I don't mine she's been sending nude pics lol.
Advise/help isn't wanted or needed. How can I let them know to back off without sounding rude or mean?
How can I get things going with Emily but letting her know I don't have time for something serious without it souding like a booty call?
