My neighbor got very surly. Did I handle this wrong?
: My 13-year-old daughter did a cat-sitting job for a neighbor and friend of ours, finishing on the first of the month.
Five days later, I sent a text saying thanks for letting my kid pet-sit, and asking politely when she would get paid. On the 10th, Cat Owner texted saying, “I am too exhausted and have no cash so can’t do payment today. Can we do another day? Or if you urgently need money, I can do Venmo but prefer not to.”On the 14th, I texted, “Hey, Cat Owner, just checking in on that payment for Annie? Can we just do the Venmo? I’ll send my details now.”
