[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord god, you are a cheapskate if you really think you should save $2.50 an hour by divvying it up per kid.  Just split it.  [/quote]

Maybe I am a cheapskate? I'm a single mom raising two kids on a GS-9 salary. Brother makes over 300K. I didn't come here for your judgement. I came to get a response of what would be generally accepted. Maybe you should step off your high horse and realize that not everyone is in as stable a situation as you. We're also splitting food and tip. So yeah, paying per kid would save me probably close to $30-40 which is a lot for someone like me.[/quote]

If yoir brother knows your situation then he’s a total jerk for not offering to pay for the whole thing. I have two kids and my sitters charge $25/hr. I would offer to pay for the whole thing. [/quote]

+1  I make $340k and my sister is a single mom with 2 kids making roughly a third of that.  I can't imagine making her split the bill with me at a dinner or pay for a share of a babysitter I was also using.  OP your brother is a dick.[/quote]
