My (F17) brother (M32) and SIL (F31) recently had to go away for a weekend to go to a wedding. They asked me to stay at their house and take care of their 5 month old son and I said yes.
He’s not a very difficult baby, but regardless, taking care of a baby is never easy. I had to go through the complicated process of thawing out his frozen breastmilk and figuring out which one to feed him at which times, he kept me up for most of the nights, I had to change him, bathe him, and take him out of the house multiple times to get myself food, since my brother and SIL left the refrigerator empty.
When they got home, they thanked me and paid me $80. I told them they didn’t have to pay me, but they insisted, so I accepted it. When my mom found out that they paid me, she got mad at me for accepting the money. She said that since we’re family, we should do each other favors without expecting money.
