I am currently recieving babysitting checks. It was a friend's idea. I'm not really babysitting, though. Anyways, the checks are in my name and the girl that I'm doing this for gets mostly all of the money and I only get 15% which is not very much at all. She is basically using me. We made the agreement that I will only get 15% (she won't agree with just splitting the check in half); because I'm not really babysitting for her but she is benefitting off of me and I don't think that's right. What should I do? Do you guys think that this situation is right? What are your opinions on this situation?
nothing 2 do with astrology but, I have a question
Do you recieve the payments as part of some social services program or court ordered payments——
Its from social services not court ordered.
If you're not really doing any real physical work for her and in addition you agreed--like you said--then it is fair. Did you make the agreement on paper??
I agreed to do it, but the fact of the matter is the checks are in my name and even though I'm not babysitting for her, its the fact that the checks are $ 332.00 and all I get is $ 50 and I don't think that's fair. I shouldn't of agreed to it, but now I want to tell her that I don't wanna do this anymore because I thins she's using me. I'm gonna end up having to owe the IRS in the end and she's not gonna have to pay anything. Its my fault because I shouldn't of went along with this. I think I should be getting more than what I'm getting and she's not gonna agree to splitting the check so we both get half
We didn't agree to the 15% on paper. She made it look like she was getting 15% and I was getting the rest, but once the check came she changed it around. The first check was $ 1330.00 and I only got $ 250 out of it and I think because the fact that I am using my name, I should be getting more money that's all.
You are right, this has nothing to do with astrology. I am surprised that they are letting you post about your little dilemma here.
Maybe so 64.105 but look at the response to her "little dilema". Sometimes we need an impartial point of view to resolve our issues.
The fact that she has to hide behind someone else's name is reason enough not to have done it. Greed will always get you in trouble and you are already there!! What your doing is not ligit and will come back on you, eventually. Like you said, you will have to claim this on your taxes, etc etc...Unless you really need the money, because your broke, I would get out of it!!!
Another thing 209-240 The split is a little on the low side, but she came up with the plan and therefore, she gets the biggest cut. All your doing is cashing the checks not a bad payout for doing nothing!!!
All I have to say on this one is 'what comes around, goes around'. People do know right from wrong...(at least most do)...
This was not right. You both knew it. Whether you 'get caught' is one thing. Either way, you have both gained some Karmic DEBT! That is just the way it is. This happens any time you knowing do something wrong.

correction: knowingly
Thanks to everyone who replied. Well, the day that the check came, I kept it for myself because I knew it was wrond and I shouldn't of did it anyway because its fraud. I told the girl that I wasn't doing it anymore and she got mad. I told her that I felt she was using me and that regardless if I was babysitting or not, the amount I was getting wasn't worth it.
I knew it was wrong. One of my main problems is that I go along with a lot of stuff even though I know it isn't right. Well, anyways she's mad and I really don't care. She wouldn't even be bothered with me at all if i hadn't of been getting those checks. She saw that I'm quiet, shy, easy-going; its hard for me to speak up for myself and I wanna change that.
I'm glad that I don't talk to her anymore. I was just someone to use up. SHe really didn't like me and she was just putting on a front. Plus, the guy I had been with for three yearsis living with her. She is his brother's girlfriend. His brother lives there, too. I expect that something is going on between them becase of the way they act towards rach other. Plus, she got alot of stuff started between him and I. So there was just alot of confusion and I decided that it was time to leave her and my "pisces guy" alone. Too much drama for me.

209, 240----Geeeeeezz!! I'm amazed that you didn't see this coming, but, I don't want to point the finger at you. it sounds like you've put up with enough bullcrap--especially from this chic. First off, she's what some would call, a "player"--and you got played honey. On the good side, you got some cash out of it but of course you gotta pay back to Uncle Sam--although, you may not have to! You may have accumilated a small tax bracket that the money you made might have been covered by wages you earned somewhere else--like a legitimate job where taxes are taken out. Don't worry about taxes. Just chalk this up as a learned experience--but most of all--not to get involved, ever, with the likes of this chic--she can go work for Miss Cleo. A my late father used to say: Where money talks, BS walks.
PS, 209, tell this girl and your ex to go drop dead.
