sounds like you have a good rapore with :"her " neighbours
so dont go and send your $ working rate backwards ,
high inflation and higher labor costs have risen all around the world or
doesnt she keep up with those outside of her domain
so dont you go and resort to child labor rates 3rd world level -so to speak!
glad that you rang around . sorry, it was after the rate she gave to you . !
how about sleeping on it . ?
let her think on and deliberate on what she actually wants .
Your way, the tried and true way is best . or doesnt she get on with her neighbours ?
live in hope .A.
