birthday or babysitting
So I got offered this easy babysitting job from a rich family down the street, and they are going to pay me 50 dollars an hour, BUT at the same time my BFFs birthday party is going on. She said it was OK if i went to go babysit.i don't want her to think i don't care but I really need the money!!!!!!!!!!!
*Im 14 by the way and female*

Hey i was put in the same position as you once. Although you need the money and it is a rich persons house, your bff's bday only comes 1 time a year and im sure she would appritiate you being there. Yet, if you need the money that bad maybe you can get the money and spend $20 of it to make it up for missing her party!

first make sure its ok with her...and if its not then go to her party a best friend is better than money...money lasts for a little while but friendship lasts a lifetime...if shes cool with you going then tell her that youll make it up to her the next weekend like take her to the mall or somthing and buy her something nice with the money you just got and it will be fun just the 2 of you. i hope i helped...

I would just babysit and then have a sleepover and go to a movie with a couple of friends and have your guy's own lil birthday party. Thats what i would do-trix

you should definately go to your bff's brithday party! Even tho she said it was fine, deep inside she's probably really hurt that you cared more about making money than her. Friends are forever, and money is great, but it cant buy everything. You can try asking if you could babysit for them next time, or maybe you can babysit for PART of the time. Dont bail out on your friend, her birthday only comes once a year, but a high paying babysitting job probably comes every once in a while or so.
another thing you could do is take the babysitting job and use some of the money to buy her an awesome present that she'll totally love. if you do that, it'll make up for you not being there for her celebration.
hope i helped ;)

if she said it was ok then dont worry about it. If you still are worried then have a gurls night out

Think of it this way, 50 dollars an hour, for what? 3-4 hours? That would be 150-200 bucks. Your friend can get a better gift from you. I'd baby sit if I were you, she said it was okay for you to babysit so, go for it! You can get her a nice present to apologize for not being able to make it to her party with the money you get from baby sitting. Hope this helped.

Ok i would Tell her that you would make it up to her really soon.. You could take her anyplace she wants (resinable)of course!And just get her a presant and a card and make her late b-day important!
Hope i helped

Well, I'll give you options
Well, unless it's a sweet 16, or her 13th, or 15th (you can get your permit where I live at 15) or her 18th, or her 21st, you get it, the "Good Birthday" then it won't be as hard. If it was one of those "good birthdays" then money can wait that day is important to my friend. But if it's just she's 14, or she's 17, or she's 12 or 11 or something, then you can make a desicion.
How would you feel if she didn't go to yours.
Or maybe I doubt it's true that someone would pay that much for a babysitter when as whoever else it was that said it... they can get a nanny for cheaper. Maybe they meant $50 the whole time. But if it really is $50 an hour, then tell your friend you'll make it up to her by spending $50 just on her.
Like there's a popular, expensive, but REALLY REALLY REALLY nice restaurant in our local awesome mall (concord mills) and it's called macados. Well there's also an amc24 movie theatre in the mall. I don't want this to sound like a date because that's weird, so like maybe have a huge group of people meet, but...treat her to a movie, and then go out to eat but you pay. Like a birthday dinner and a movie. After I typed it, it sounded like a date, but since everyone else went to her party, you can gather up anywhere from 4-10 friends, or even more, all of ya'll see a movie, your gift is to pay for HER and YOU only, and then go out to eat afterwords, and you pay for YOU AND HER only. I know even if you're there for 3 hours or so, and you get $150 then you won't have enough for everyone you go with, and the more people the more fun!!
Or, if it is one of those sweet 16's, then GO TO THE PARTY, there will be other babysitting chances to earn money!!!!!!
It's a hard desicion to make, but what has the more positive impact??? Do what you'd want done to you!! Have fun! Good luck with the desicion!!!

I would deffently do the babysitting job!!!

Shit at the birthday party you'll get what cake and ice cream and spend money on her gift na shit go for the 50 dollar hour babysitting job.. i mean your friend and you can do something together for her birthday like go see a movie or something.. so thats what i would do..hope i helped..~*DEZ*~

Well it's up to you. Since your friend said it was alright for you to go ahead and babysit, then go and babysit. But you could always can get offered to babysit some other time. I would go to your best friend's birthday party because it only comes once a year and how would you feel if your best friend didn't come to your birthday party and went to go babysit, even though you said it was alright? Think about it. Hope I helped :)

Well, maybe you can stop by the party real fast and give your friend a present, or some money, then hurry over to the people's house, or maybe, if its ok with your friend, you can go babysit, then stay the night with your friend. With the money that you earned babysitting, you can buy her a present. I hope this helps! <3 aLySsA

well see, it all depends how badly you need the money... if you want it just to have it and waste it all on just something stupid then i woulf go to your BFF's party but if it is for something important like you've been saving up for this item the majority of your life or if it's to help out the family then babysit.

$50 an hour! I don't care how rich they are, they are not paying you that much. They could hire a full time nanny for less than that. Support your best friend and go to her party.
