Is John Duggar's mother-in-law Cheryl Burnett asking money for babysitting his children?
A social media user wrote in the comments section of the post, "I'd bet they write off the babysitting expenses on MeddleCorps Schedule C. This probably serves as the 1099-Misc."
Another wondered, "This is it. Cause it’s gotta be babysitting, but why would they need to document it like this? When it’s your mom watching her grandkids, why would she be keeping exact measurements of the time and formally billing it this way unless you need the receipts for business reasons?"
The user further claimed, "So I think you’re exactly right, they’re having their mom bill them for babysitting her grandchildren and writing it off as a business expense for their highly sus “charity”. Which just makes the whole MeddleCorps thing look even dodgier."
