Regarding child care, three factors are critical: cost, quality, and availability. Prices rise while availability decreases, significantly impacting the workforce and consumer spending.
As a result, many parents seek assistance from family members. However, this childcare option is convenient and economical.
Hiring family members as babysitters may result in sentiments of resentment. When hiring relatives as babysitters, you must strike the appropriate balance and avoid turning a granny into a nanny.
Be very careful not to abuse your family's generosity, and be empathetic when the answer is no. Resentment can emerge from either party, ruining what was once a happy relationship you all had.
When your relative demands a token to watch their children in return, you have to take it with no hard feelings. You require assistance; you have budgeted for a sitter.
You get to go out, your children are cared for, and you aren't out any money, so go with it. Leaving children is always wrong for people who have not agreed to care for them due to a busy schedule.
Of course, you wouldn't have done anything to put the kids in danger, but they didn't know that. Although the exact origin of the famous phrase "One person's freedom ends where another freedom begins" has yet to be determined, practically everyone in the modern world agrees on this notion.
