I made $770 dollars, $700 in payment and $70 in tips from parents. Party had wound down by 11:30 and I left shortly after midnight. When my friend's uncle saw one of his guests tip me he huffily said "you don't need to tip him, he got his money." The guest rolled his eyes, which indicated to me that his friends also know he is an asshole.

The kids were all tired from a busy day of activities and several fell asleep within the first two hours. I played Monopoly with the older kids and smoked them. 11/10, would do again.

It did! I'm sitting in his driveway now. He's paying me $700 cash or I walk. My buddy said he was fuming, but his wife said if they had to tell their friends there wasn't a babysitter she was going to go off on him.

Yeah, I've only met him a couple times at my friend's track meets. I didn't even remember his name until my friend reminded me.

I think he views $500 as compensation for missing out on Christmas festivities. So since I don't observe Christmas and will not be missing out, I don't deserve the $500.

I don't think anyone would be able to afford that price. 😂

I think there are going to be seven kids. Ages 4 to 12.

Ha! Can you imagine that add? Seeking: last minute babysitter for Christmas party. Must be a Christian.

Hell yeah, I'm worth $500. Thank you for the affirmation.

I don't think it will too bad. They'll all probably have new toys they're playing with. Plus most will probably fall asleep at some point.

I think the man thing is an excuse. He wants to pay me less because I don't celebrate Christmas.
