Has anyone allowed parents to do this?

[apples and bananas]

I probably wouldn't allow this. I know it sounds like a better set up, but it simply isn't my set up. I don't think I like a parent coming into my home and telling me how they want to pay. I think it gets you off to a bad start. It also seems like shes the kind of person that thinks they employ us... and you know that could land you in trouble.

I see it as a red flag that she wants to dictate when she wants to pay.

Just my 2 cents.
