whats fair pay for care of pet from family
hi, I am in my fifties and cannot work due to health issues and and have child in thirties who has own company makes in a week what I live on a year yet feel taken advantage of for numerous reasons. This child asked me to care for pet for a few months and I was honest and said I didn't want to and they got mad and guilt trip me about it. so then I feel taken advantage of as needed for food and child got me watch pet for few dollars a day but I said I want what would pay kennel as a lot of work. question do u think child should pay going rate or at least more than a few dollars a day which I feel is an insult and person treats animal better than own mother and its stressful I would like at least 25 a day and they only give me 4 dollar whats fair and right also I trained dog as was not trained and is a lot of work and feel not appreciated what is fair price and how can avoid guilt trip especially as is my child even though I am the mom

If you aren't happy with a situation, you need to say no.
If you are feeling taken advantage of, then you shouldn't have taken the pet.
However, if this situation has already began, then there isn't too much you can do about it now, unless you are willing to escalate this to the point you surrender the animal to a shelter.
Frankly, I think that would be cruel. It's not the pet's fault that you and your child couldn't come to a respectful agreement.
You are right. Kennels are very expensive, and it's fair to want more compensation for caring for the pet. HOWEVER, that is an agreement you need to come to before the pet arrives. Changing the agreement now is going to be very, very difficult.
Your child might be rude and ungrateful, but you need to learn how to say no. If you gave into their bullying, then you are stuck. Next time, don't give in.
