Yeah, kare recognizes that parents have part of the chore. I just think neither side is wrong is asking for what they want.

If the parent insists on their place, I think that's totally within their realm of prerogative/responsibility as parent.

Similarly, if a potential sitter declines because of the requirements of said request are too much, that's totally within their rights as well.

yeah, i agree. i do think the fact that even family doesn't let the kids stay with Aunt Kare is a hair weird. - TFox Jun 16, 13:02 4
- no no, sorry, nieces and nephews *have* actually stayed with me over the years. - kare Jun 16, 13:04 3
  - i see what you are saying, and i'm with you. - TFox Jun 16, 13:06 2
    - This is the thing. I think *most* parents try to make it flexible for friends/family. Her situation is the outlier, not the norm. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 13:07 1
      - And to be fair, maybe her sit is the norm, and I'm just not understanding it. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 13:19
