Wait, so you think you’d be a hero for not charging a friend for watching their kids? And you expect parents to send kids with lunches when they stay over the day?
When I was a kid, I ate lunch at friend’s houses several times a week. And we had kids over at our place all the time. Often all day. And they were fed. And our parents didn’t even know each other.
Our kids don’t have friends over nearly as often, but we don’t have a problem feeding them lunch, dinner, etc when they do.
What kind of world are we living in where anyone would even
consider charging money for watching their friends’ kids for a day, and balk at feeding them lunch and snacks?
JFC, no wonder fewer couples want to have kids when this is the selfish every-person-for-themselves attitude towards child-rearing and community.
