[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. These posts surprise me. I am the aunt who has do e this before and the idea of being paid is insulting. For those of you who believe any assistance should be financially compensated, how do you negotiate that. If an elderly parent asks for help with a task, do you give them a quote for how much that will cost? Do you ever do anything for others without expecting and requesting payment? What if people are initially aught off guard or don't pay you when you helped out, so you just drop them?

I had no idea that so many people felt that helping a family member out should be financially compensated. [/quote]

It should not be a burden. I have it written in my trust that anybody that provides assistance be compensated. If my son does my taxes, he will be paid out of the trust.

Maybe he will be a millionaire, but maybe he is hurting for money. I don't know, I don't care. I want to compensate people for their time. [/quote]

That is sad to me. It is such a cold and business like way to relate to family. We all do things for each other all the time. [/quote]
