[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses.  To answer a few questions I am related to my SIL through my brother.  My step daughter is from my husbands first marriage and she lives with us full time.  I do not discipline her.  On the rare occasion she has been grounded it was her dads decision.

In my area $25/hour for 4 kids is the norm.  She could have charged more.  She could probably charge me more for watching her siblings during the week.  Seriously you don't pay those rates you are going to have a hard time finding a sitter especially on the weekends.

I was there when SIL made her low ball offer and my daughter laughed at her and made the charity comment and walked away laughing.  I did not do anything because SIL offer was insulting to my daughter.  Ya she could have handled it differently but I am not going to get on to her and her dad does not care.  She stood up for herself.

My brother says she needs to apologize.  I told him his wife needs to apologize for her low ball offer and trying to take advantage of my daughter because she is family.  So we are at an impasse now.  I asked my brother if his wife managed to find a babysitter for $10 an hour.  He called me a smart ass and hung up on me.  [b]He knows I am right about this.

Actually, you are wrong. Your SD was rude and there was no call for that. You have no idea why your SIL offered her $10 but there are a lot of reasons that aren't offensive. This should be a learning moment both for your SD and for you. [/quote]
