'That's a ridiculous rate': Entitled vacationing family has a meltdown over childcare costs


This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. 

As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit. This cousin is bringing three kids on vacation with the OP. Shockingly, the cousin asked the OP to babysit her kids for the entirety of the three day vacation. It's pretty wild to assume this hardworking OP would rather spend their vacation watching three young kids. But then, when the OP tried to negotiate an hourly rate, their cousin didn't take it well. 

Next, this person made an unbelievably cringe mistake at their big interview with a company's CEO…
