Because I'm worth it

By Anonymous - 30/03/2009 13:34 - United States

Today, a mother wrote me a $130 check for babysitting her four kids for a few hours. Trying to be gracious, I said, "Wow, thank you, this is very generous!" She thought for a minute, then said, "You're right." She took the check back, ripped it up, and wrote me a new one for $55. FML

See, its always better to keep your mouth shut. A simple thank-you is sufficient and talking too much gets you in trouble.

Don't ever question a paycheck for more money than you think it's worth.

When your mom gives you a check: just take, thank, and walk away.

to much talking on your behalf. shut up and take the money.

#25, obviously you've never babysat before. It's usually per child, especially when there are more than 2 children (in this case, 4). It's a lot more difficult to manage 4 kids than it is to manage 1.

While that totally and completely sucks, $55 for a few hours is a hell of a lot more than I used to get. But I'm not trying to justify her actions-that was so rude of her!
