>>>>>I don't think the husband seeking sex is any better or worse than the wife agreeing to sex for no other reason than to assure that her bills get paid.<<<<<
Yup, both are bad, which is why I said the sex part would make me feel like a prostitute.
>>>>>A babysitter, be they a grandparent or anyone else, isn't comparable to a parent. I don't expect the same level of work from a sitter as I expect from myself, when it comes to caring for my house or my children. Washing dishes, possibly a two-person job, is not the same as mowing the lawn.....a one-person job.<<<<<
I've seen many people share in lawn mowing. And whether they be a sitter or a parent, this guy IS a parent as well. He should have either offered to help or left. You simply do NOT stand and watch someone else laboring just to get a kick out of watching. I'm sorry. On that I will never agree. That isn't right to do whether male or female in any type of situation. If you're a supervisor paid to supervise, that is one thing. If you're just watching for the thrill of it, that's another. But add to that watching when YOU are benefitting, even in some small measure from it, just for the thrill of watching...that's just downright rude and uncivilized.
>>>>>Would I show up at my ex's and not offer to mow the yard? Ummmm....yes, ESPECIALLY if I were the person footing his bills. I find it hard to believe that you would offer to mow your daughter's father's lawn.<<<<<
If he were actually spending time watching his daughter and I had nothing else to do but stand there and wait on him to finish, and ESPECIALLY if the lawn he was mowing was going to revert to me, you better believe I'd offer to help. That or I'd walk in and see if dishes needed done or something. To me, it's no different than when I was visiting my parents the other day. Dad and I went to lunch and were waiting on my mom to get home. Dad was holding the baby and watching TV and I was gathering up the diaper bag and taking stuff to the car. I noticed a sink full of dishes and stopped to do them. I didn't owe them that. In fact, we were using MY gas that day to run my dad around while my mom had their car. So it was kinda like paying him that day. But he has bad knees and my mom was working and the kitchen was just a mess. I did the dishes and ran a mop over the floor because I just couldn't stand seeing it and knew I could do it much easier than they could. Humans often do that. We empathize with people and offer to help out. Most of us anyway.
