my mother in law has been watching the babies for me while i work because we are struggling on one income. my partners currently on strike at work and we have lost a lot of income the past couple weeks. we are behind with rent even. his mother asked for money to watch her grandkids which i guess is fair enough and we agreed on $50 a week. anyway, moneys tight, she got her $50 last friday and today her partner (who is a seedy old prick) said "youre short $50 last week, we want $100 a week". and i looked at mil and she just stared at me like "yeah we do".... i said um well we are 2 weeks behind with rent right now and probably gonna be out on our ass so you will have to wait" and hes like "oh okay". i told my partner and he said " wtf $100pw to watch ur grandkids sounds fucked if she agreed to $50" and now im wondering what the point is in even working
