Invoices shouldn’t accompany family favors, but my mother-in-law didn’t get the message. After charging us $600 to care for our dog during my labor, I decided to teach her a lesson in reciprocity.
Days prior to my induction, I began to experience back pain. Ever faithful, Rich remained by my side. As Jake contacted his mother, his optimism was evident. “She will assist,” he stated. And she paid for it.
Our son’s arrival made the agony of labor disappear. When we got home, we discovered Abigail’s message requesting money. Jake’s mouth fell open. “This is crazy,” he whispered.
I didn’t agree. Without a battle, insanity would have been paying.
