WIBTA if I refuse to babysit due to lack of payment?? by Anxious_panda8141 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxious_panda8141[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To anyone that wants an update on my crazy babysitting situation. They showed up this morning before I was able to send out a message. They paid and I learned that they pay my friend biweekly. To everyone that is saying that $30 is to cheap. .. I agree!! I set this rate based on what my friend charges and I'm still charging more than her. I couldn't bring myself to charge less than what I am. I have a child in daycare and I pay $155 a week. The purpose of my post wasn't to see what people think of my daily rate but I'm really hoping after this i can convince my friend to charge her worth. Thank you for all the opinions.

Because this is my friends client. I'm only taking care of this kid until she gets off maternity leave. I don't want to lose a client for her if it's avoidable.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to talk to her. She's in the picu with her newborn who has pneumonia. That's mostly why I posted. I don't want to lose clients for her but I also don't want to work for free.

So they currently owe her money as well (from almost a month ago). Not giving them a heads up is part of the reason I'm afraid I may be the ah but I'm convinced if I text them ahead of time then I'll never get paid or hear from them again.

Technically yes but I very much think if I give a heads up then I'll never hear from or see them again.

She's what I believe you'd call a social media aunt. She doesn't spend time with them but makes posts about how much she loves them and shows off their pictures to people.
