Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So my boss from work asked me last week if I could watch her 3y/o so she could pick up an extra shift at work, just a couple of hours so I didn’t mind. She’s a single mother and I’m very empathetic so I wanted to do her a solid. Next day she asks me if I can do it again on Friday (today) but i would have to cancel my own shift, it was only a 5 hour shift so I covered it so I could, not a big deal, she’s gonna pay me (not much) for watching him.

She then asks me to do it again on Monday (NYE) because I took annual leave to spend time with my partner who I haven’t been able to really spend time with over the holidays, because we both work and have busy lives (we live together but barely have had any time together other than at night before bed). I make an excuse because I feel bad about saying no so she then asks me if I can watch him on Tuesday (rostered day off, same every week, also New Year’s Day) because I couldn’t do Monday. 

I didn’t mind the first couple of times, but now I feel I’m being taken advantage of and I haven’t had a day off to myself in weeks. She’s asked me to use my holiday hours twice now to do her favours - I cleaned her house for petty cash a couple months ago - and is the type of person who gets upset when you don’t do what she wants, so it’s been really difficult for me to say no without an elaborate excuse. I feel like an asshole but at the same time I feel like this isn’t something that you do with a colleague that isn’t really even a good friend to begin with..
