[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So zero dollars is better than a reduced rate since you so full of awesomeness that they probably didn't even ask for or want? [/quote]

Zero dollars from them on a weekend when I can relax and have some time for myself and try to find a babysitting gig is better than exhausting myself meeting the expectations of this job (all of which have either been asked for or specifically called out as a reason for bonuses, etc.) and then feeling resentful because i feel underpaid.  It is my job to avoid burnout and that means knowing how much money it takes to make a stressful weekend feel worth it.  But it's good to know that I am above market, because I could offer them an in-between (board the dogs and no family laundry or meal prep and I will reduce my rate to X).

As for the "curious" poster, while kids are napping, I take the monitor and walk the dogs around the cul de sac to pee, then I take the kids and dogs for a longer walk a some point in the day or play fetch with them in the back yard if it's too hot/cold/wet to take kids on a long walk.[/quote]
