Babysitting: Does this give the impression of being celebration? What should I do?
I've been babysitting for a friend for the summer. Her 3 kids on top of 2 of my own for $100/week. Yes, extremely cheap, I know, but I would be doing this anyway as a stay-at-home mom but just getting salaried to do it.
Anyway, she's been planning on this canoe trip. She's gotten some financial stuff screwed up and said she may not be able to pay me until subsequent week and also may have to forgo her canoe trip. This was Monday. Yesterday, she asked if I was still going to be capable of go on the canoe trip with her that she probably had the money to stir. What about paying me? What if she doesn't pay me but still goes on the canoe trip? And I hope she have enough for groceries because we're having to scrounge for food. LOL. Should I just punch her contained by the face if she goes on the trip without paying me? Oh, and did I mention that if she can't find anyone to preserve her kids for the trip, that I have to watch them? WTF?~
Yes, punch her..Okay maybe not. But you do need to clear the atmosphere, NOW. Your already stewing in what ifs. If she does go its going to be major anger. Time to agree and keep a friend. I kept my friends 3 kids for a week once. She was gone 12 days and never called. I be mad, panicked and way upset. The kids be miserable, I was too broke to feed 3 extra kids, etc. It was a nightmare that you do not want. Talk to her before you really have to punch her just to grain better. Its not worth the misery.
you don't need a friend like this.
she is a moment ago taking advantage of you.
don't go on the trip even if you have to plan a trip to jump anywhere to be away from her.
Let her know now that you won't be keeping her kids anymore
Answers: As a fellow giver I own to say you are being taken for granted. You should remind her that you already watch her children for a nominal excise and if she is unable to pay you but has money to nick a vacation then she needs to find another sitter while she is away. You involve to set boundaries and stand up for yourself or she will think she can just stop paying you all together. And yes $100 is dirt cheap and fundamentally generous of you!
First assert yourself and let her know you are not a free babysitter. As for her trip it is not your responsibility to watch her kids while she goes bad to have fun. My position on children is... (very crudely put). If you lie down and spread your legs and come up pregnant then by god do the responsible piece and take care of them! If you don't want them then don't get hold of your dumb self pregnant. Take responsibilty for your actions and quit expecting everyone to owe you something. Sorry just my opinion. NO it's not even-handed.
