Answer 3

It isn't your business, stay out of it because you may not know the entire situation.

Answer 4

His family gets a check for a caretaker. What they do with the check is up to them but as long as he’s getting taken care of, they’re not doing anything wrong. Your friend is willing to do it for 200 a month so that they do with the remaining money is up to them. If you think your friend should be paid more than have your friend negotiate for more or quit.


My relatives are way worse than the mother and sister. My relative gets a check to hire someone to clean her place. Instead of hiring a maid, she hires her niece and they split the money.
