Babysitting Origins

Summary: Babysitter vs. Unreasonable Demands
So, our brave babysitter was feeling extremely sick and asked the woman they worked for to come home. Instead of showing concern, the woman insisted they hold on until the end of the day. Unable to continue, the babysitter called a friend to cover and left. The woman later confronted them, claiming they didn’t sound sick and could’ve waited. Our babysitter decided they’d had enough and quit. Now, the woman is begging them to return, but they’re not sure if they should. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
