[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have breakfast, dinner, weekend activities, incidentals (ice cream treats, needing to buy more sunscreen or snacks or whatever, etc), has money to compensate driving them around and then any extra you want to give for her time and energy.

Breakfast - can be cheap - assume $5 per day per kid (including milk or juice, maybe a bagel and fruit or whatever) - $120

Dinner - assume $15 per day (for six dinners) per kid since they will likely eat out or do delivery and you’ll want to pay for her dinner too - $360

Weekend activities - this is a huge variable... are they likely to go to a theme park, or go for a long bike ride? I’d give somewhere in the neighborhood of $200-$300 because I’d want them to be able to have special super fun time if that’s what aunt wants but wouldn’t want her to pay since she is already doing a huge favor.

Incidentals - $100

Gas money - depends on how far she is driving for all of this. Maybe $100?

So that’s $930 if I do $250 for weekend activities. I’d probably round it out to $1000, or $333 per kid.

On would assume there would be breakfast in the house.  That's a lot of money and it really depends on what she does with them.  Ask her what she needs.  [/quote]
