I have been a single mom for year and I rely on my 16 year old to watch my 7 and 9 year old after school. I work odd hours at a retail pharmacy, it is not ideal for anyone. I am really grateful that she helps with very little complaining. It is not ideal for any of us and I do not pay her a regular wage but I do try to get her things here and there that she asks for, like her one millionth pair of black boots or concert tickets when it's something we can work around. It is what we have to do it's how we make it work.

Slaves? Yeah, that's stupid. My kids are 4 years apart so I don't know if I'd be in your situation but I'd say for date nights and a couple of hours here and there, no. If it's something like overnight/weekend type deal then I probably would.
