‘From now on, just pick up your own kid’: Freeloading mom gets shut down after taking advantage of the kindness of a fellow mother

They say it takes a village to raise a kid. Sometimes your village consists of a gaggle of helpful aunts and uncles, and for some, their kiddo's grandparents are involved. Family aid isn't always an option for everyone, so for some, their village relies on the kindness and promises of fellow parents. Parents lean on their friends in times of need, but once they burn you and the safety of your child is at risk, some heads are going to roll– and your 'village' might be down a member.

In our next story, a dutiful mother decidedly followed the friendship of her daughter's bestie, hoping to find the same kinship in the girl's mother.

Keep on reading to know more about all the details of how this mommy partnership unraveled– prepare for a story including a knee injury, a lot of vehicular miles, and one, solid mom-to-mom burn.
