[quote=Anonymous]Just to cut ties with parents and their increasingly awful offspring. Parents tell kids they need to improve their behavior; kids straighten up temporarily, no real consequences in terms of removed gadgets or physical toys.

Children have their good moments, but I deal with yelling, stomping (older children), uncooperative attitudes re: tidying and sometimes just overall disorganization in the house. It is wearing on me and every time I leave, it takes me a day to recover from a shift.

Increased my rate in January, but I am ready to quit once their pseduo-school year ends.

Not sure how to do it because the parents lay the "you are like family" molasses on, then go on to get behind on electronic payments, I have to remind parents and to threaten to not return in the past, they say 'oh our bad...'

Really, your bad?

tl;dr: Should I jack up my rates for the mental crap I have to put up with, and just be grateful, esp with COVID-19, that I am working? (And double up on self-care when I head home, while saving and planning for when the job market picks up....in the future).[/quote]
