dont know what to do about this!
me and my cousin babysit my brothers 2 year old daughter quite often. he offered to start paying us recently. he asked us how much we wanted to be payed and we told him $20 a week for each of us. we got payed last friday but we didnt get payed this friday. he told us he would pay us every friday. i depend on this money because at the moment i dont have a job, but yes i am looking for one. it just irritates me that he hasnt paid us yet. i dont know if i should say anything to him because i dont want to get in trouble by my mom. can somebody help me figure out what to do?. thanks for you help

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
I suggest the website called The Sitter's Weekly.
It's a free online guide to babysitting - includes advertising advice, babysitting rates, flyer ideas, how to handle the children, etc.
It's located at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

sincerely ask him when he is going to pay you. if he shrugs then tell him how much you need this. if he says today or soon or later tell him "no now" you can come up with a nicer version if you want. hes your brother he should understand.

He offered you the money, I would ask him for it. Seriously tell him hey bro do you got that 20 bucks from fri I really need it I made plans to ....lalala
You did what u were suppose to do and he was the one who offered its alot more for daycare

The moment he offered to pay you it became a business deal. So relative or not, business is business. Your mom is not in on this business deal, so you can deal with her getting upset later.
Communication is always important in every aspect of life, but especially in with family and in business. You can just kindly ask him if he is still going to be able to pay you after all. If he says he can't afford to or whatever then you decide if you can continue to babysit.
It's also possible that he just forgot. A working dad forgets things at times. So just talk to him. The world won't end, you won't melt, your mom won't burst into flames. You're just asking him a simple question.
Hope it goes well.

Yes, ask your mom what to do.
But remember: You had been doing this for free. So no matter what agreement you have, the offer of money will always seem to be a bit more of a gift, then a payment. You can't exactly demand someone pay up on a gift.
