Ugh--you are right! 6.9 sounds better!

I seem to have worked out my child care for the first part of the trip--when my husband and I are at Universal. When my husband and I talked about child care, we decided we would like to try to pay someone to stay at our house with our son, at least on the school nights. Immediately we both thought of Susan, a friend from church who has been unemployed for...well... awhile. She has been helping care for her Dad with alzheimers and does a lot at the church--some for pay, most not.

Anyway, Susan and I had lunch today. I asked her if she would consider staying with our son for two nights and driving him to school, etc. She eagerly said yes. Well, I got to thinking that I did not say anything about paying her. I got in a problem with someone at church a couple of years ago when asked her to serve at my son's Confirmation. We paid for all the food and she and her husband came while we were at church, set everything up, served then cleaned most of the stuff up. Well, I handed her $$ when she finished up. She started to cry and said she was offended that I would even think of paying her! She is a caterer for goodness sake!

So, with Susan, who considers herself my son's honorary aunt... . I want to make it clear up front that it is our intention to pay, or we would not ask her to do this. Any suggestions?

I would just come straight out and say you dont feel right about it unless you can pay her for it.

Ahhhhh! The direct approach. I like it!

Christine, I'm with Deena--come straight out & tell her you wish to pay her.

If she gives you a hard time about paying her, suggest she donate the money back to the church or another charity.
