Do you mean she uses one gallon of gas to drive your child to and from?

I’m assuming in one week their nanny uses a rank of gas and this person thinks an extra $5 is remotely acceptable. But, many people take advantage of young people. I cannot even imaging hiring a teenager to drive my children, but it certainly does save money.

I am the PP. I didnt hire her to drive my kid. I hired her when she was 15 to watch my kid for about 2.5 hours 3x a week during the summer at our house. This summer she is 17 almost 18 and has been driving for over a year and I asked her Mom what she thought about her driving my kid occasionally. She drives 2 younger siblings to their activities on a regular basis and is very responsible. So she drives DD to her activity now sometimes.

I'm assuming that you're kind of crazy and just looking for something to be mad about. It seems highly unlikely that the teen sitter is driving the kids to an activity twice a week that is far enough away to use an entire tank of gas. PP pretty obviously meant a gallon.

This is the PP with the teen sitter. The activity is not far away, maybe 6-7 miles from our house. This is less than a gallon each time and she does it twice a week. But I give her an extra $5 each time she does it.
