Babysitter Breaks the Rules, Gets Fired

After hiring a babysitter recommended by a close friend, our concerned parent provided her with a list of rules and a recipe book for simple meals. But when they returned home, they found their son more hyper than usual. Turns out, the babysitter had given him candy after 7pm, breaking the rules! Not only that, but candy was the only thing he’d eaten all day. The parent decided to fire the babysitter, who begged for a second chance, but was shown the door. Now, with mixed reactions from friends and family, the parent wonders if they should’ve given her another chance. Was it too harsh, or did the babysitter get what she deserved? Let’s see what people have to say about this sticky situation…
