My SIL posted an article about how much to pay a babysitter. The premise of said article was that teens should be thankful to receive $5 per hour for babysitting three children. Both my sister and I disagreed with the premise and laughed about it because we were making that much back in the late '80s.
You'd would have thought we were committing blasphemy with the responses going back and forth. Do normal people (unlike the cheap author of the original article) really pay their babysitters that little? My husband and I agree that $10 per hour for two kids is an honest wage for a babysitter. I think the vitriol coming from the "babysitters should be grateful" crowd was more of a testament to the particular religious culture of the Utah based author. My husband comes from that same culture and after so many years married into that family, I still don't quite understand them.
