Lazy or philanthropic?

Now that I'm living closer to my family again, I've started taking advantage of it. I've begun hiring my nieces to come to my apartment and clean for me.

This past weekend, I had two of them, Katie and Desirae, over to work their magic. They're both in their early teens, and they're excited to make $20 for stuff they're supposed to do at home anyway.

When the proposition started a few weeks ago with Katie, I thought I was just being a wizz-bang uncle. I would've loved the opportunity to earn some cash when I was that age, and for the amount of work they're doing, they're making a little over $6 an hour.

Then lately I just started wondering... am I just lazy?

I'm sticking with philanthropic.
