[quote=Anonymous]I understand your dilemma OP, you really want this job to work out and stay long-term. I know you say this family is great, however look at just the principle here. They are basically going to try to get out of an agreed upon matter and are riding the hope that you will let them. That is not a trait of a great family. Imagine if they had to forgo two weeks of pay. They wouldn't. If you let them get away with not paying you, you will be setting up a horrible precedent for the future. They will see that you are easy to take advantage of and will likely lose respect for you in that regard. That being said, I would feel weird getting paid for not doing anything. That's just how I am. So a good compromise would be to offer to house-sit for them while they are gone. Or at the very least, stop by every now and then to check on things. Perhaps you can care for pets, if any. You also can check for packages, care for and water any plants as well as collect the mail regularly. Also since they won't be in the home, you can also offer to organize a closet, the child's toys, the pantry, etc. That way you won't feel as if you are putting them out even though you shouldn't feel that way anyhow. But I see your side of things. :)[/quote]
