[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd also like to point out that the money you give her is a stipend, not direct payment for the hours she works. If it was an hourly wage, $200 for 45 hours is pretty awful. Stop thinking of it that way. Its basically a living allowance, to someone you should try to look at as a member of your family. Get over the fact that she chastised you, she's little more than a teenager. Be the grownup and stop keeping score. [/quote] While I agree with your point, saying that APs get only $200 for 45 hours of child care is misleading. [/quote] That is what they get. Yes they get free room and board, and that is taken into consideration with the stipend, but it comes with a whole mess of rules (no guests, no male guests, curfews, etc.) that, to me almost nullify the benefit of living in.
