[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done this for neighbors before, no pay, and did not mind at all. And yes it was a fun activity for my DD when she was little. [b]Ask in a way that makes it easy for her to say no.[/b] This is a skill that is good to cultivate to maintain good relationships. What you do is frame it as something you only want her to do if she might enjoy it. That way if she has zero interest in plants or it sounds like too much, she can easily say "oh yeah, not my thing." So frame it like "I'm looking for a plant lover who might be interested in helping with my plants while I'm gone." It gives her an easy out.[/quote] I would have loved this little side trek when my kids were younger. The days are long, and it’s always nice to have something different to break up the day. Good you aren’t mentioning it, but it’s likely true that she’ll bring the kid along to kill time and keep them busy. [/quote]
