[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched my sister’s kid for two weeks and she gave me $200 to cover food and incidentals, which was fine. I think $500 would be plenty altogether if they are in camp all day and [b]paying her for her time is not an expectation.[/b] That’d buy some meals out and perhaps a fun activity.[/quote]

People like you are disgusting.
I have no doubt you take advantage of other people's kindness & generosity, because there's no "expectation".

We get it. You do not have the idea of family that some others have. Not everyone has to put up huge boundaries for toxic relationships with family. I'm legitimately sorry you have this experience. But op is asking a more logistical question. I've been in both positions, I would never in a million years expect payment as a "service" and while I would offer I know I'd be rebuffed. I'm stepping in either bc my sister is in a tough spot with her kids and needs backup for 8 days OR because I WANT that fun bonding time with them. Neices and nephews to me arent just some kids I'm paid to watch or deal with, it's a pretty tight bond. Not everyone sees them that way,. But why can't we presume OP  knows what kind of situation and relationship this is and not project bout own shit onto this simple question [/quote]
