Should family be paid to babysit?

It’s a job watching little one’s. I would much rather pay my family than anyone else. Js

Elders have limited income…I would pay without blinking my eyes.

My ex-MIL watchs her granddaughter and has ever asked but I always offer.

$65 is nothing. If you have a problem paying her $65 get your ass out and find someone else. You sound horrible and ungrateful by the way.

Absolutely she should be payed

Pay your grandmother!

That’s your grandma, chick! You should be ashamed of yourself.

Try paying a day care, show some love and gratitude

Pay her…and know your child is loved

Yes give her something cause if a baby sitter. Keep them u r going to pay them be respectful

Daycare would be 100 count your blessings

Yes you should pay. Maybe she needs the money.

Not real sure how I came to like this page but I am unliking it now. I very much dislike this sense of entitlement.

No, pay her…cash or gift cards.

Imo absoultley not I would nvr. Take money for babysitting my grandkids

Why wouldn’t you pay ANYBODY to care for YOUR child?
And $65 a week? Can she watch mine too?!!

Have you ever thought she might NEED the money

Well, it might help out with food

1st of all that’s CHEAP. 2ndly she owes nobody anything. 3rd she may need the money to feed him etc. I just wish my Grandma was alive. I’d pay just to speak with her once more. :broken_heart::sob:

Somebody has to feed him and if that’s all you’re paying I would not complain

You would pay a stranger!!! Quit being a spoiled brat!!! That’s called taking advantage of her!! TRUST!!!

sounds a little entitled to me.

Yep.
You should be paying her.

So you’re complaining about paying Grandma $5.41 an hour? and that is if she keeps him 4 hours a day Max??I believe you’ve got your priorities mixed up … you should be grateful that Grandma babysits him and that little bit of money probably helps her offset his food etc.

Pay her and quit you’re freaking whining

That’s the best and cheapest child care you’ll ever get!

I’d want and expect to be paid for sure~~~

You are using her big time.

Depends on financial situations

How dare you expect her to watch him for free when you are working!! SMH!!

See if someone else will watch him for free…ya know…its no big deal. Or …maybe your boss will LET you work for free! That is even better!

Maybe she needs the money

Besides it’s your grandmother, not there’s

Check how much you would be paying a day care center them you think about it

Wow, talk about being entitled!

If you don’t pay you are taking advantage!

Yes she should… plain and simple…

Maybe she needs the money

Wow, I could never take money from my kids.

This doesn’t even deserve an answer.

Pay her it’s wrong of you to want her to do it for free

I would not take money.

Yes u should pay wth is wrong with you

It should be free she’s seeing her gr

Absolutely you should pay

Ain’t nothing wrong to show her some love :two_hearts: & a lil cash :dollar:!!!

Pay her,or take your kid to a day care !!

Pay her. :woman_shrugging:t3: $65 isn’t a lot. I used to get $40 a day.

You’re always welcome to find somebody else to watch him.

my mom pays my sister for babysitting 🤷 .

Pay her she’s 65 years old these are her golden years,if you don’t want to pay find someone else.

Pay you would have to if family didn’t watch for you

If you mom wasnt here to watch your kids… You wouldbe paying someone else to watch your kids. Your mom owes you nothing… Pay up.

Maybe she needs the money.

Pay up! You will feel better about it!:grin:

She should not have to pay any thing

I charge just 20 for 7 hours

That’s really cheap maybe she doesn’t want to be taken advantage of

Exactly can’t beat that price

You can claim child care on your taxes.

Well i wouldn’t ask to be paid to watch my grandkids

Who would you pay, someone you know nothing about. I would rather pay 200 a week to someone I know will love them like them than 20 a week to someone I dont really know

Yes you should expect to pay her.

Bet that’s alot cheaper than daycare!!

I would not charge anything. I wld not pay her. Phhhppphhht

So pay her Put him in daycare see what that cost you👿

Babysitting is a job n at age 62 she should be enjoying her retirement not babysitting for free. It’s ok once in awhile

It would cost you more for day care. Pay her!

No I dont think they should get paid!

Yes you need to pay her

maybe she needs the money

Then stay home and watch him yourself.
