Need advice on how to ask family member for $$ babysitting Im a 25 year old living at home with my parents. I have other family close by and in the past couple of years — due to family emergencies overseas — I have been tasked with watching my 2 teenage cousins while their parents (and mine) are out of town. I have never asked for $$ as I had a full time corporate job — but recently I became unemployed 6 months ago. I ended up watching my cousins again and it was for 3 full weeks this time. I feel taken advantage of, as my aunt & uncle have never paid me for full time childcare - I drop & pick them up from school & activities, feed them, medicate them when they fell sick multiple times, stay at their house. I was never asked if I could even watch them, it was assumed I would & their parents left the country within 24 hours telling me one of them would be back within 10 days (they were not.) It feels tacky to ask for money — but I also feel it’s tacky to not pay for childcare?? (They are well off.) I need advice on if I should even ask. How much should I ask for — I thought $100 a day but i have no idea if thats too much or too little. How do I even word the request as to not cause offense - which is ridiculous because at this point I feel pretty offended lol
