Am i normal to be angry at my friend?

Hi, My friend recently quit her big job, to pursue another career. This career pays nothing. In order to pursue this, she needs someone to look after her children. I occasionally have babysat her kids, and she has paid me. fair. recently she asked me if i could look after her children twice a week for about 10 hours, I said i would have to look at my schedule to see if it was possible, but yes it might be. She then told me she could not afford to pay me. I then said i could not do it. Now she is all angry at me, and i am very very pissed off. I am disabled and suffer from chronic fatigue. any bits of work i do, i need to be paid. i think thats reasonable! i feel hurt , angry and sad. is this normal? i still want to be friends, i have tried to support her the best i can because i know her situation is not ideal, but i cant do this!

    I don't think she has any right to be mad, she should be understanding of your fatigue; her choice of career path was her option and she should be responsible for the consequences, it's not like you can help it!

    It's normal for both of you to get mad but let's look at the truth. The truth is they are not your children and a babysitter needs to be paid, yes you are friends but you didn't offer this to her, she's asking you and you declined she's going to have to pay or find someone else if this is inconvenient for you weighed you are sick or not.
