<human>: Hello.  A few days ago my father told me about vague plans to meet up with the greater family and visit my grandma for her 90th birthday.  My sister and Mom won't make it, but most of the extended family will be there.  Coincidentally, I was asked by my mentor and person who has saved me from financial ruin to house sit his place for a week, while paying me a good amount of money.  Probably a third if not half of my monthly paycheck.  

I told my father the situation and he said that I don't care about family and he made me feel like a bad person for wanting to make some money and stay in the good graces of my mentor.  

Am I in the wrong? Should I lose out on the opportunity to make money and pay for a little more of grad school?  I'm having a hard time going to the birthday party because I love my cousins and want to see the extended family. 

Thank you
