What would you think if your uncle

offered to pay you 4 thousand dollars for a month to keep his 12 year old daughter while he went traveling to different countries?

He'd be a lot better parent then my Brother ex-partner. Who asked me to pick up my Niece's 4 other siblings from school and look after them for the afternoon.. I didn't see hide nor hair of their mother for 2 weeks. And with no explanation.

I'd be insulted that he thought I'd need paying to care for my own family.
I was thinking that also, that nowadays both parents work. Whereas my mom stayed home and worked with my dad occasionally and so did my husband’s mom. She did the books for my husband’s dad. Nowadays no one says home and many people have children of their own on top of that. Many children aren’t well behaved either and can be a handful. Lots of families don’t feel responsible for their siblings and their children because they don’t have the resources to and because they’re not close. @jomsim
@jomsim I don't think it's unreasonable for people to be responsible for their own children. That's part of being an adult. I think it's admirable that your uncle plans to support your cousin--his daughter--even while having you take care of her.

@bijouxbroussard I don't think it's unreasonable at all, but it isn't the only option.

I would make sure that money is not a deciding factor in this and that I would give this little girl amazing home for 12 months.

He has a lot of trust in you and the amount would reflect the amount of responsibility he is given you

Awww so she doesn't have a mum who can look after her? That's really sad... 🥺

Well if it were me, I think it'd be fine as long as she actually wanted me to look after her! It's a horrible experience as kid, being looked by someone you don't like or know. I remember that all too well and wouldn't wish it upon any child. So yeah, just make sure she's happy to stay with you first.

I'd love the idea. But I'd do it for free I'd love to just raise a kid.

How much can a 12 year old eat and destroy? He's overpaying. On a side note, I also got asked to look after a teenager for a month. I only asked for $200 to cover food.

I'd definitely do it. Four thousand dollars is a lot of money. Hopefully, his daughter and I would get along okay. 😬

Yes. It could be that he can't carry daughter to some off those places. But I will be track on him.

Probably......"Such a fantastic experience. Why wouldn't you take your Daughter and share it ?"
Tarxarin · 26-30, M
If its only a month and i truly trusted him to come back? Yes.
MrAboo · 36-40, M
I’d spend the money on the kid
