[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not wanting money for babysitting is one thing. When they provide day care, they should get something. Unless they are really comfortable financially. Otherwise they are giving up earning power, retirement savings, etc.[/quote] I disagree. It's not a bartering system, its family. You help someone when help is needed. The last thing I want is for my relatives to feel obliged to do something for me, just because I helped them in some way. I lived with an aunt for 18 months while saving for a house, didn't pay a dime. A few years later, my brother lived with me rent free for over a year. We help each other because we want the best for our family and we're all in this together. The payoff is seeing each other prosper. Corny, but its the truth. It's funny that those of us with families that chip in for childcare are treated like this is unusual when it's probably more common from a global perspective.[/quote]
