The dollar store gift I got was on the heels of me watching their 2yo for 10 days 24/7 while they went on a cruise. Also, after I committed, my hubby ended up having to go to New Orleans with his guard unit after the hurricane AND our closing on our house happened so I had to move my family and house and the dc alone. But I still kept my commitment to watch her. The $1 gift felt like a slap in the face after that. A card with a thank you would have been better.
This thread was supposed to be for fun - a little job humor - but some people are too deep to get into it I guess.
