So about a week ago one of my family friends asked me to take care of her dog and 7 parrots (yes, really) starting this evening and ending Sunday morning. Since I'm an absolute dumbass, I agreed to a pay of $30. For the entire weekend.

Basically I'd be staying the night and feeding her parrots (which are all assholes) in the morning, afternoon, and evening, so a total of 5 times. I'd also walk her dog, but she's an absolute sweetheart and I have no problem with that.

However, once I told my mom about this she was super surpised and told me that pay was abysmal. I kind of agree with her now and I want to ask for a higher pay of maybe $50-$60 for the weekend.

Is that a shitty thing to do or am I justified in asking for a higher pay? Thanks for the advice.
