 ? for teachers and others
I am a teacher (obviously haha) and my friend who is an occupational therapist has a 7 year old. This is my question. I make 50% less than she does a year, and she constantly wants me to pick up her son from soccer camp, etc through out the summer. During the school year she does not have to pay anyone to watch him b/c she can arrange her schedule so she drops him off in the am and is home in time to pick him up in the afternoom. I have to be very careful over the summer as I budget throughout the year to have money when I am off. I feel like a jerk saying no, but I feel like I am being taken advantage of. I am 25, don't have children, and feel like I didn't go into this profession so I can babysit for free in the summers so my friends can save money while I waste mine running 15 minutes each way to pick up their kids and back. Am I being a total b- or are my feeling justified? |
