[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She knew about the surgery since I scheduled it in October. I even scheduled her to clean the house the day of the surgery so id come to a clean home. She knew for a long time I would be off this week. [/quote]

So she should stay and cater to you, unpaid??? Very entitled. You may be a pill for her to live with...[/quote]

NP. The girl gets free rent. She shouldn't be paid for occasional childcare. At least I wasn't when I lived rent free with a family after college in exchange for occasional babysitting.[/quote]

Then those expectations need to be made clear as part of the agreement. Free rent in exchange for babysitting for X number of hours a week. Advanced notice is needed by both parties to change the arrangement, formally. Then, the OP would have needed to spell out that extra hours were needed this weekend. The babysitter/cousin would have needed to formally ask for the weekend off if that were during her expected hours.

The poor girl can't be expected to read minds.[/quote]

"That poor girl"?? Are you f-ing kidding me?? She lives rent free and is paid extra for basically lifting a finger to contribute to the household. I am dumbfounded by the vitriol toward OP.

If I were a young student given free room and board by a very generous family member I wouldn't say "poor me" if the expected me to help out here and there. I Would go out of my way to be gracious and repay their kindness.[/quote]
