During that discussion, the pair ultimately agreed to cover Camila’s vacation expenses if she agreed to babysit their kids on certain occasions.
Now, this obviously would not happen every day or without any notice in advance.
“But at least twice a week for two hours for two months. She would basically be the replacement for our current babysitter,” he said.
So, he wound up texting Camila back– explaining the arrangement he and his husband had come up with. But, to his surprise, his sister just replied, “Absolutely not.”
That pushed him to call Camila and ask why in the world she was so against the idea.
After all, he really thought it benefited both parties– his sister got to go away on the trip, while he and his husband got a babysitter they trusted without exceeding their monthly expense budget.
His sister just did not agree with his perspective, though. Instead, he and his husband actually got accused of trying to manipulate Camila into doing unpaid labor.
According to her, it was manipulative because she was forced to say yes if she wanted to go on the trip– since neither their brother nor parents would pay for her.
Camila also claimed that she was just way too busy with her last semester of college and final exams.
But, he pointed out how she could just complete any schoolwork at his house because his kids are extremely well-behaved and require little supervision.
In spite of that generous offer, though, Camila still refused. So, he ended up telling his sister that he was very sorry, but he and his husband just would not pay for her to go on the trip then.
