Finding daycare for a newborn is challenging. It’s expensive and not every place that is available is suitable. So it’s not a surprise that it’s quite common for close friends and immediate family to help parents with their newborns, as it’s probably more reliable and cheaper. However, sometimes it’s important to agree clearly about the payment even when your own parents agree to help in order to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
A Reddit user recently shared the uncomfortable situation that she found herself in after her mom offered to help with her baby without any pay, but a year later started saying that it’s wrong to make her work without getting paid.
