[quote=Anonymous]Some of you people here are crazy. OP’s kids are not toddlers, they will not require round the clock care. I have a best friend who is like an aunt to my kids, and me to hers, I cannot fathom accepting or offering 2000 for this kind of arrangement. OP can show up with a few bags of groceries, 200-300 for extra gas and incidentals, and give a really nice gift. Some of this really depends on the person taking care of the kids, are they the kind of person to embrace cooking for the kids or will they want to eat out all the time? How resourceful/creative is this person in coming up with some low-key outings the kids will enjoy? Caring for and entertaining school age kids for a few days does not require a fortune.

Some of you are way out of touch. But I already knew that. Please leave your bubble sometime. You’d be amazed how many families function and thrive on sub mid 6 figure incomes. I notice in a lot of lower income and immigrant families the family members help watch other kids without these huge expectations, much less 2k for 8 days. They don’t seem to see it as a burden. DCUM needs to crawl out of its ass.
