Babysitter’s Dilemma: To Tell or Not to Tell? ️‍♀️

Imagine this: You’re a babysitter, spending your first night with a sweet 11-year-old chatterbox. He’s an open book, sharing everything from his favorite games to the fact that his parents are getting a divorce. Suddenly, you hear footsteps and find the kid’s dad at the top of the stairs. He’s not supposed to be there, and he’s got a secret request: “Don’t tell your mother I was here.” Now you’re caught in a moral tug-of-war: Do you spill the beans or keep the secret?
