People Who Expect Others To Do Their Work For Free
My sister agreed to babysit this summer. That was okay with me, but when I went to ask my mom if I could go to my best friend’s house, she butted in with, “no, because you have to babysit for me all this week while I’m at volleyball.†I wouldn’t have minded this if I had already agreed to do it, but she just assumed I would do it. Now I can’t see my best friend for a really long time. And my mom can’t do math right—I said that I watched them for ⅓ of the day, so I get ⅓ of the money, but that wasn’t good enough for her. So I calculated it and it turned out to be a little more than ⅓, and now all she does is complain about how much money she’s losing. And she thinks she’s going to pay me way less. Again, I would not mind doing this if she had discussed it—and pay rates—over with me first.
