I agree. Seriously I would feel guilty asking my mom to cut her vacation short to babysit my child.

ah smurf you, how am I being selfish by saying we are not paying for the guy to get his money back? that is ALL I was asking. Is it fair we have to pay the guy back? No. I don't think so at all.

I did say in another post "obligation" was the WRONG word to be used. I do not believe myself to be selfish in this situation, I am angry at her saying we have to pay the guy back. . I have NO problem with her going on a trip, but if she is the one that asked for us to live in her home so she can do in her words "anything and everything to help me with school," is it totally fair for her to just up and leave for that long without any notice and putting all of us ain a bad situation? I don't believe so either.

Pay someone else to watch your kid. Let her enjoy her vacation and not cut it short. It is selfish for you to expect she would cut her vacation short anyway.

Seriously OP you sound like a brat. It's not her job to provide you with free child care.

with what money? and what people? there is no way in hell I'd just look in the newspaper for a nanny to watch my kid without even knowing them to be with my child in be in our house alone. hell smurfing no.

it's not her obligation to watch my child. She said it was to be a weekend so it wouldn't interfere with my classes. I totally appreciated her doing that. That was Wednesday. Come Friday, it's two weeks.

^^ You sound ungrateful as smurf. You're living in her HOUSE, and she helps your ass out. But you don't think she should go on a vacation?? She doesn't have to watch YOUR child all of the time. So stupid.

Pay for your own childcare, don't have a paddy that people won't look after YOUR kid for free.Why should they/It's your child, not her's.

No, it is not her job. But she is the one who asked for the role of his babysitter when she asked us to move in.

You'll just have to make it work.

She wouldn't have to give you any notice really, but she chose to.

She is going on a trip, if she cuts it short to WATCH your kids, then yes you would have to pay it back.

If she goes, then use the money you would have used to pay him back, to hire a sitter.

She might have offered,but that doesn't mean to take ADVANTAGE of her.

And she's a grown adult and can go out for as long as she wants.

Would you like it if she told YOU, YOU couldn't do something you wanted to because it interferes with HER plans? No you wouldn't.

And it's not her fault you guys don't have money to hire a sitter. You said your mom can't take 2 weeks off of work, but could you not find people within your family to take shifts watching him? Friends?

You can either sit here till she leaves and make excuses about how it CANT be done, or you can buck up and figure out a way to GET it done.

Trust me, me and SO have done MORE THAN enough in the past eight months living here to help them out. The money we have put out of our savings to help her and his dad is more we ever needed to. We have paid the mortgage for 3 months straight, paid their electric bill, her cell phone for 2 months, paid for her medicine, as well as giving money for new carpets, new furniture, and just bought a new stove. We do A LOT for them, I am no where hear ungrateful or a brat.

NO smurf you op you silly little ungrateful brat!! atleast I don't think it's other's obligation to take care of MY kid!
