I need advice. My best friend will be going back to work when her son is 12 weeks. She has asked me to babysit every Tuesday since she can't afford daycare. She said she would cook my family dinners on Tuesday. At first I just assumed I was doing this for free I didn't even think about money.. at all (maybe because I'm a good friend) but my mom said right away "well she better be paying you" now it's making me second guess whether or not I should be compensated . It will be every Tuesday for who knows how long. I mean would you do this for free? She said she would make us dinner at least. I don't know... I don't really feel comfortable asking anyway. :-(
Maybe try trading. You watch her baby on Tuesday's and she watches yours for a grocery trip or a date night once a week.
@mamahood I definitely agree with beebaby I mean if she is your bf then u should be able to voice your opinions 2 her. Im sure u guys have both done stuff 4 each other for free or for cheap because of the friendship and I wouldn't let your mom or anyone else make u think like u need to charge her unless u really think u need to be paid. At the end of the day u and her just talk cuz simple things like this can ruin friendships.. good luck mama
i wouldnt think about money if it was my best friend... its only one day.
She is your best friend right? I would screw what my mom said. Her cooking a meal with be good enough for me.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

@beebaby, @chelseaepley, @mommajessica89, @neikadre, @renee556, Thank you ladies !!! I totally agree I should do what I feel is right and initially I wasn't expecting any sort of payment . whenever I need a babysitter or someone to let my dog out when I'm away I'm sure she would be willing . She lives 8 minutes from my house so it's not like a far drive :) plus my son is only around adults all the time so this will be good for him!
