I think you have lavished your charity on a highly undeserving set of parents. Of course you don't give them a cent. The gall of those people is unbelievable. The source of the phrase "no good deed goes unpunished."

This posting cannot be real.

First off, why would you baby-sit TWO young children three days a week without pay? You claim you are doing it for charitable purposes, but unless you are required to perform some community service hours, this family is taking full advantage of you and you are letting them.

Also, your post is contradicting itself, on one hand this family knows you are unemployed, yet at the same time they are asking you to help out with bail monies. This makes no cents (pun intended!) and why are you stressed if you do not fork over the money?? Have they threatened to set fire to your house??


For all of you that are claiming she is lying because she worked for free is not a reasonable argument. Seriously. I worked for a family friend and watched their 4 children for free for about 5 weeks solid and was not paid a cent.The family was going through a very rough time money wise and really needed the help. You have no idea as to why she did this, some people are actually kind enough to help others when they are asked. So please stop accusing OP of lying because i have been in the same boat as her/him before.

I am watching the children for free because I had 3 months off in between jobs. What else should I be doing ? 3 months is a longtime without any kind of a job. Taking care of the children 3 days a week kept me for being extremely bored and it helped my neighbors out.

Yes they know I'm unemployed. They also know that my financial situation is not bleak. I was stressed because my neighbor got arrested. I have the money and I could have given it to the family but I chose not to because well honestly because I'm selfish. I feel like I've done enough for this family.

Did your college offer any English classes? You clearly didn't take them.

But I'm glad you're smart enough to know not to give them any money.

I think if you get asked again all you have to say is "I haven't had a job or been paid in x weeks. As much as I would love to help out I don't have the money to do so".


Thankfully he hasn't asked me for money again. He just mentioned that she is still sitting in jail and he doesn't know when he will be able to bail her out. He is worried she will loose her job because she didn't show up today. I just kept my mouth shut , no more trying to help for me.

If you watch somebody's kids, clean their house for free you should change school- you are not as educated as you think.

Why do you even care what he thinks and how the hell do you think we know what he thinks!? This is ridiculous. They have no problem putting you out so why the hell would you worry about what he thinks???

I'm starting a new job on August 3rd. The reason I agreed to watch their children for free was because I had so much free time between jobs.
