[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is here - i didn't say our package is fantastic and we are average middle class family and unfortunately our basement is not finished, however, it has a bathroom and a separate entrance.  I wonder if i should offer this to her isntead of a shared floor. 
I asked for advice but got judged so easily. I got what I came here for, so thank you all[/quote]

Well, OP, your point was essentially that because you are "already giving her a nice pay package" that you don't think you should have to pay extra for nights.  That was a direct quote.  So essentially, you think your compensation package is so good that she should be happy to work an entire week with no time off for no additional pay.  We say we disagree on two counts - (1), your package isn't so great that this kind of flexibility would be expected, and (2), even if your package was so much higher than normal, you can't expect someone to work for free when you haven't been clear that was the deal.

No one's judging - they're just answering your question.  No one is even judging you for your living space.  It's completely fine to offer a live-in a space in the same area of the rest of the family.  But it's quite obviously more attractive to a live-in to have a private space with a private entrance, if available.  If you don't have that, it's completely fine.  We're not judging.  We're just saying that living space is part of the package - and a separate space would be more in line with a package that was so good you could expect tons of flexibility.
