I think you need to bring it up to him now .. don't put it off. Maybve see if your husband can bring it up in casual conversation as they are working. I think it is reasonable if he is getting paid a reasonable wage for his work from you and your husband that he should expect to pay a reasonable sum for baby sitting fees, unless you agreed to the baby sitting as part of the payment for the work. But don't spring it on him as a surprise. |

It depends on what your husband told the guy who was helping him. If he offered to have you watch the kid then no - take it up with your husband. The whole thing reeks of tackiness. |

While I think it is right that you get paid, I don't think it is right for you to demand payment with no agreement about it. You should give him the choice. He may want to hire someone else, or may have a family member the child can stay with. If you do not agree to a baby sitting fee, you have no legal right to charge him, nor to take it out of what your husband will pay him. Telling him that you need to get paid in order to continue is fine, but springing it on him is not. |

I would have it deducted for what your hubby is paying him. |

This should have been discused before hand. You can not just go and charge him...Legally he does not owe you anything.
Now, is your husband paying him as a thank you for helping or was it discussed in advance what he would be paying the neighbor? If he is doing it as a thank you then your husband should pay both you and the neighbor. If it was an understood price then you were babysitting as a favor.
If this was the only way the neighbor would do it then you babysat as a favor to your husband.
Just the way I see it. |

I don't think that's wrong at all. You may even want to suggest having your husband discuss this with him and just have him take it off of that fee. |

you are right and he would not find any one to watch his kid for thoses hours, he should not expect you to watch the kid for free that is a lot of hours you should ask for payment he is the one in the wrong not offering payment to you i say ask ASAP don't wait talk to your hubby he should agree check around at the prices for child care, you are being used it prob costs more that your hubby is paying him for help talk to your hubby and have him on your side it will help too but definitly don't let him not pay you, you deserve every bit i'm sure, stand up for yourself |

If you both are watching each others child then why are you paying each other? If it was me then i would be as bold as they are and say thank you and take my child and leave after they are done babysitting. I would not give them one red cent. If they ask then i would pay them but will make it clear the next time they want me to watch their child that i will have to charge a fee before i even keep the child. |

I think you are doing the right thing. The neighbor is asking you right so take it if not do not watch the kid no more. |

If you were watching the children as a trade, then your DH shouldn't give him any money. Maybe you should just ask him what his view of the situation is. He may not expect any money for help if you've been babysitting. Your best bet... ask him. |

I think you are right in what you want to do. I dont think your hubby should have to pay very much for the help since you are returning the favor. Sit and talk with your hubby. See what he says then come up with a game plan. It isnt fair for you to have to watch the neighbors kids and pay the neighbor for help. |

You are doing the right thing. Maybe a good way to approach it would be to ask him for a discount from what your husband has to pay him (to cover your services) . |

I agree with every one else who has previously posted on this bored. Especially since your neighbor is not doing it as a favor. You may however want to be careful about how you go about asking him for payment. For example, if he is a professional at whatever he is doing in your garage he may already be charging a cut rate and you wouldn't want him to get offended and overcharge you. |

If he has the nerve to ask your husband to pay him for his help then yes ask him to pay you for babysitting. You could also ask him to make it just a far trade and niether of you pay. |
