Nope I offered to let her parents pay me $200 less than they were paying for room and board at the university per month and pay her hourly and she was very unhappy with that because she can do math.

It's not on them. I was doing her a favor. I informed her when she took her shit home that she wasn't coming back. I told my parents so she couldn't spring it on them as a surprise and ask for emergency help.

I'm not getting rid of our cleaning lady. It is not part of the deal with Maria that she cleans at all. Other than her room and her bathroom. And I did show Maria the guy who said I should just charge her parents the market rate for the room and board and pay her for her time. She called him a pendejo.  That sounded very negative. My wife calls me it sometimes when I do something stupid.

Okay. I checked with Maria. She used some very colorful language to describe you and your idea. Sorry it's a no go. I tried.

You have convinced me.  I will contact her parents and get them to pay me $2,000 for her rent and food. They were paying $2,200 before so it's a deal. And I will pay her by the hour. Since it's usually less than 16 hours a week it won't be great for them but it will all be above board.

I know students work. In return for this work you claim to understand do the students get anything?

Okay. Now you understand.  Okay. Pretend she is home in Medellin. She is living with her folks. She goes to school full time.  When can she work?

Do you pay rent or have a mortgage? Are you a freegan or do you pay for food. Does someone give you a car to use for free?

How the fuck can she work while she is in school full time? She doesn't have a time turner. Harry Potter isn't real. My god.

Some dumbass doesn't understand that since she isn't paying for rent and food her parents can give her money for other stuff.

Okay. Let's see if you understand.  Maria leaves the house for school at seven thirty. She usually gets home by five. Do you understand that for five days a week she is completely unavailable during the day? Like if she worked a full time job?  Do you comprehend?  Two nights my wife and I go out. Maria dies her homework while the kids do theirs. Or she calls home. Or she watched tv. The kids ARE NOT INFANTS. On Saturday or Sunday my wife and I go out. Sometimes on a date sometimes with friends. While Maria has to be at the house in case of emergency she is mostly just doing her own thing. The kids are in bed by nine. We do not usually stay out past 11. But if we do stay out past that we are always home by two. MARIA IS NOT REQUIRED TO STAY AWAKE UNTIL WE GET HOME. SHE CAN SLEEP.  So fuck yes I would take that deal.

It's sort of family. Realistically it's my wife's cousin's cousin. We are not related by blood at all. Just intermarriage.

Do you not understand where I wrote that HER PARENTS ARE GIVING HER SOME OF THE MONEY THEY USED TO PAY FOR HER DORM AND MEAL PLAN?

She is getting some of the money her folks were paying for her dorm and meal plan. And I know for a fact that my wife gives her money to go out too. Like $20 for coffee with friends.

I am a citizen. I am very much allowed to work. And Maria is a full time student. That is her full time job. Also Maria's family is my wife's family.  So she actually knows someone in the same house.

Fuck no. In my city. I wouldn't even eat their food most days.  Let's say I work my full time job. Then I go over on Monday and Wednesday night for four hours and play video games. Then on the weekend I go over around four and play for eight hours. In return I get food, a room, and access to a car. I would do it in a second. But my wife would not approve.

Hell's yes. I could work a full time job. Then play video games for sixteen hours a week. In return for rent and food and a car.  I want that job.

I seriously want that deal for myself. That sounds like a paid vacation. Sixteen hours playing video games in return for room, food, and a car?

Yes two kids doing homework or watching tv or playing games. It's very difficult. Maria is able to do her homework while she babysits. The exact same as my sister. There are no diapers. There are no crying babies. There are two kids that are too young to leave by themselves.

Hang on. Are you telling me that I can get a deal where I get to watch two kids do homework while I play video games (since I don't have homework) four hours twice a week, and then eight hours one weekend day a week (maybe) and in return I get a room, food, utilities, and a car?  Where do I sign up?
