/u/Ok-Artichoke-7145 on The couple my mom babysits for expect almost 12 hours of looking after a 2yo and a 1yo for $120 a week

Wait 5 sec.

For the love of God! 1 Your Mom is, actually, making $2.00 per hour. 2 If she's disabled, she has no business babysitting 1 kid, let alone 2! What would happen if one of the kids got hurt? I can just see her getting said (probably hysterical) child in her car and then, getting the OTHER kid in the car and then, wrangling BOTH of them into the emergency room. (Cause you know these cheap scumbags wouldn't want to pay for an ambulance!) 3 What about her gas? What about her car insurance? What about wear and tear on her car? What about tires? ($600.00) 4 What happens if SHE gets hurt? These are just a few considerations. If you are over 18, you need to nut up and tell these ahs that: They need to pay her at least $10.00 per hour. If they don't want to, tell them tough shit, take their kids to a daycare. If you're not: you need to get an adult involved. They are taking mad advantage of a disabled, elderly woman. If all else fails: find out how to report them for elder abuse. Something bad is going to happen sooner or later. Get on this! Protect your Mom!
