[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hasn't anyone suggested asking the helper herself? If she is responsible enough to be involved with watching your kids, then she should be able to start to learn to advocate for herself. [/quote] Because those 2 qualities don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. And if you have next door neightbor's kid who is happy to come over and play with your kids, and you ask her how much she charges, and she says "Oh, whatever, I don't know... $2?" because she is shy and you think that's great so she comes by a few times but then the money isn't really a great motivation after a little while, you are in danger of losing a great mother's helper on some stupid principle that you should be helping kids learn to advocate for themselves through the school of hard knocks. If you want a mother's helper to come help you out in the afternoon hours and you FIND ONE, pay her WELL! Trust me on this one![/quote]
