Each? For 8 days??? [/quote]

Including payment for 16 hours a day of childcare, why do you think that's unreasonable?

If it wasn't an aunt you'd pay more than that.  [/quote]

She isn't paying for child care.  She's leaving money for food and extras.  After they return, she can get her a nice gift card for her time.  So, they need dinner out and an activity or two for the weekend days they are gone.[/quote]

She specifically said the money was to pay her for her troubles.  So, yes, she's expecting this money to cover paying for childcare. [/quote]

I would never leave my kids with such a person.[/quote]

Ugh.  You think that you are entitled to free childcare from your relatives and that the relative who agrees to watch *your* children should also be on the hook for paying for their food, entertainment, gas, etc....Seriously?  Way to use a family member.[/quote]

Literally NO ONE is saying that. [/quote]

You're right.  That particular person said that they would view the money left as payment for providing childcare.  At the same time, she would be watching and presumably caring for 3 kids for 8 days so one can assume that she is aware that it costs money to feed and entertain 3 kids...so she would have to spend at least some of the money on the kids, right?  It's a matter of semantics.[/quote]
