I guess we're being unclear

"We only watch the kids while you work."

So why, then, does mom get a text close to midnight that you're stuck in traffic due to an accident on a street that isn't on the way from work to our house?

Okay, your friends are celebrating their baby adoption. You didn't have to go to the hospital after work on a work night to be with them while we continued to watch your kids on a work night. You probably assumed that, if you asked, we'd say no. If so, you're probably right. That's why we want to transition from being your child care provider to being just grandparents again. An hour or two of being with your kids so you can hang out with your friends is way different from an extra hour or two after we've already watched them for twelve hours.
