[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to deal with this all of the time with my last family. Mb was living separate from dh so asked me to do a lot of extra things.  It came to the point where she was asking me to grab milk every week and never reimbursing me. She wouldn't reimburse gas and mileage, and then would completely ignore receipts left out on our communication folder or say she thought her parents left them.  Looking back I think she was very aware of what she was doing because they paid me well so she justified it.  I just stopped.  One day she had written down for me to get milk. I waited until I knew she as in transit home and called and told her I didn't get it so she may want to grab it at the cvs next door.  She was pissed.  And tried to reprimand me like a child. I told her that she doesn't know what I do with my funds and for all she knows I may need my last 10 for gas or whatever. She attempted it again when we were planning a bday party and had me searching for a particular item. She wrote down that if they have it please purchase it and she will give me cash that evening.  I told her the better option would be for her to bring the cash home, give it to me and I'd get it tomorrow.  She caught on and backed off.  It's completely rude and they are very aware that you are using your own money they just don't prioritize it. I suggested we get a money bag and keep $30 in it every week and I could grab from it and replace it with the receipt.  For some reason she said she'd never remember to get cash. Whatever I eventually moved on but still see my charges to babysit.  The family I work for now has never asked me to do anything like that and pays more than the irs has rate. [/quote]

Yikes, that's terrible. There are lots of good ways to reimburse for little requests and this is NOT among them. [/quote]
