We started a home-schooling pod with another family, but then we went on vacation. They refused to participate or pay 50% for the nanny for 2 weeks after we got back. Who’s right?

I have presented this question to several people among different walks of life and received very different answers, but nothing is ever settling enough for me, so I would like your input.

My family went on a two-week vacation out of state/country, and I agreed to continue paying our share of the nanny’s cost during that time as it was during regular school time. The only difference was that I asked the other family to please host the classroom at their house during our absence, which was not a problem for anybody involved.

So the other family isolated from us for two weeks after our return. They also declined to pay their share of the nanny cost during this two-week time frame, as we put them in this situation because of our travel and created a hardship for them in the first place, and they now had to make alternative arrangements for their kid during that time.

The Moneyist: We put our spendthrift neighbors in touch with our financial adviser. They called her ‘lousy.’ So how come WE are the ones who retired early?If you made an agreement to create a pod with this family so your children could attend homeschooling or remote learning together, and then you breached the pod by going on vacation out of the state or country, you are responsible for paying for the nanny for the two weeks the other family stayed away.

If you travel out of the state or country, you’re not only breaking the rules of the pod by not quarantining, you’re breaking the rules of your state. Restricting your movements after travel is to ensure that you did not contract COVID-19. Your friends’ child may not show symptoms, but the same may not be true for his or her parents or grandparents.
