OP, you're a tool. Don't charge her anything. Being a grandma, she'll probably try to force money or some other compensation on you anyhow. Tell her that you don't want anything. If she insists, like grandparents so often do, tell her that you'll take lunch or dinner or something.

You people just don't get it. He already offered to do it for free, and she WANTS to pay. It would be an HUGE INSULT to her not to not allow payment.

As people age they lose more and more control of their lives. Obviously this is something she still controls and wants to pay. Don't rob her of that dignity.

You aren't doing her a favour by FORCING her to accept your work for free.

How about you all go out to lunch/dinner and the grandma can just pick up the check?

Follow the jokers advice on this one, if you are good at something never do it without getting paid.

Said like a true lonely sad nerd. Haven't you ever heard of friends and family helping each other out?

Thanks Pale. It does seem like no one in this thread understands this at all.

Sometimes I wish people would read through my responses as the OP

My grandma is the same way.

I would go over and hook up a VCR and she'd give me $20. I didn't refuse - and if I did she'd never let me anyway.

Tell her to order you a pizza to eat while doing the work or buy movie tickets for your gf. She just wants to show her gratitude.

Anal sex with the gf should just about cover it.

Or a BJ on the way there/back would cover it as well (both maybe?).

Ok, fine one of the first two options and she makes food where you take home left overs (and if she gives cash slip it back into the purse, check either endorse it to the gf to do with what she wants or use it to pay for a dinner that you take the grandma out to).

its your GF's grandmother. DO IT FOR FREE at the most for dinner.

the GF will remember it. Also if you are in a serious relationship then it gets you in good with the family.

but if you charge her then the GF is going to hear about it and get pissy. its a no win situation.

Certain people become HIGHLY OFFENDED when you refuse to accept things from them. He already offered to do it for free. The grandmother obviously wants to pay for the service. Don't INSULT her by not allowing her to do that. Charge a small fee and be done with it.

then as i said have her make dinner or such.

this is a really bad situation for the OP.
