Because I'm worth it

Today, a mother wrote me a $130 check for babysitting her four kids for a few hours. Trying to be gracious, I said, "Wow, thank you, this is very generous!" She thought for a minute, then said, "You're right." She took the check back, ripped it up, and wrote me a new one for $55. FML

$55 ain't bad either. I used to babysit the neighbors' kids for a whole night and only get $25... And that was in the late 90's when the economy was awesome too.

#105, you're the moron. She babysat kids for a few hours meaning something like 2-3. She would be making minimum at McDonalds which is $7.15 and hour... 2 hours would be $14.30, 3 hours would be $21.45 with taxes you're looking at the most ~$18.00. Baby sitting she made 3 times that amount. Idiot.

what the hell is with these stingy mother ******* giving and taking money? damn.

This is why you never look at the checks until you leave. They'll never see your face if you're disappointed or impressed.

100, it makes sense to charge a little extra, but not the same price for all of them. the difference in 2 and 4 kids is extremely minor. (yes i used to baby sit) say the lady has to go to work for the night. you cant honestly expect her to pay half (estimate) of the money she makes to a highschool kid for watching TV with her kids for a few hours. but i will repeat what i said before. if the OP would have used her manners and not looked at the check until after she left then she would have made her money anyways

what a cheap ass bitch, that happened to me once when i worked as a cit at a camp. this girl's mother handed me 30 dollars in cash than said "oh i'm sorry you're just a cit" and took it back. once you've given someone a gratuity, it's rude to ask for it back.
