Renee,




I'm notorious for being overly generous to my friends and family. I used to give everyone such a break that I was basically making minimum wage.

I have stopped doing that for everyone EXCEPT my family and my children's Godparents, and then I give them half, which I really don't think they appreciate. I almost think THEY think I should just give it to them, which is making me start to think that Michele's approach is the only approach.

I think it was fine to do it this way when this was my hobby and I was childless. But now, it is my source of income and my time is extremely precious. I can't afford to make less than I'm paying the sitter, ya know?.

Where are you in NC? I'm in Shelby.
