am I acting like a spoiled brat or did I deserve more than what I got?

(UPDATE)

OK, so this isn’t really a long one but a little while ago, I think about a month or two I was asked to deep clean my sister’s house, and I did not leave a single crevice of her house dirty when she paid me and the thing that genuinely put me in so much pain like back and arm wise was scrubbing her floors.

and most people would be like oh I’ll vacuum and mop and then it’ll be over with, but she never got her wood floors waxed so they had a lot of crevices and were very, very rough and textured, and because of that vacuums and mops would not get everything so I was literally on her floor with a bucket and a dish scrub brush and scrubbed every inch of her house, she lives in a relatively smaller house, but she has a good sized bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room.

I took everything off every single shelf in her house. I dusted, wiped every single thing down, cleaned out her pantry entirely threw away bad stuff and organized. I even dusted every single can, and cleaned out her fridge, which was terrible because she had spilled something which I’m going to assume was syrup and the whole fridge was extremely sticky, but smelt amazing lol.

that took about an hour or so to do, I then did all of her laundry, cleaned her bedding cleaned out everything from under her bed (which she did ask me to do I wouldn’t just do that randomly because I feel like that’s kind of a boundary thing) I scrubbed her toilet sink and shower organized all of her makeup even cleaned out her dresser, put all of her laundry away, but didn’t even try messing with her socks because I know she likes to mix match them all the time but I did organize them from like sizes and everything, in the very back were her really long and fuzzy socks because she doesn’t normally wear those then in the middle were her ankle socks, and then in the bottom were her weird socks that really only cover her toes and heel, which I think are weird, but she likes them.

and it took about a week for her to pay me but when she did, she only gave me $50. I don’t know if that’s worth it or not but I kind of feel like it wasn’t because it took me a while to like stop hurting because my back hurts so bad from doing all of this and I feel like I deserved at least $65 but I genuinely do feel like a brat thinking I deserve more but I just can’t get this out of my head so what do you guys think? also, she does get paid very well so I know she isn't struggling.

but I’m also young and I don’t know if that changes anything like maybe I’m too young to be getting paid more or smh.

thanks for reading :) also sorry for any grammar mistakes. I’m kind of rushing right now.

OK, I think I should’ve mentioned this in the first part she does my nails every 2 to 3 weeks but I also get some pretty basic stuff and with her pricing and the stuff that she does what I’d be getting would be at most $70 so I heard a lot of you guys saying I deserved at least 200 but because she does my nails I think 120-150$ would’ve been perfect, she's genuinely a amazing person and I look up to her.

and also when she did pay me, my mom saw what she paid me and didn’t say anything to me. I didn’t complain about it at all cause I honestly wasn’t expecting $50. I was expecting maybe like a $20 bill or something, but my mom did talk to her and now when I do clean her house, (I don’t deep clean it because it doesn’t need it anymore cause I’ve been keeping it up) she does pay me about 70 to 100 every time, with what I’m doing every time I think that’s fair based off what you guys say.

and apparently my mom did talk to her and that’s why she pays me a little more every time I clean her house now.
