Rethinking the Babysitting Business

A Thanksgiving Babysitting Fiasco!
So, our ‘Super Sitter’ found himself in quite the predicament. Invited for a Thanksgiving dinner, only to be left alone with two toddlers! After calling the police, the parents returned and were reprimanded, but seemed confused and annoyed at him. He stood his ground, declaring he won’t babysit for them anymore. Even his own parents thought he was a bit harsh. But hey, babysitting without consent? That’s a no-go! Let’s see what the internet has to say about this unusual Thanksgiving tale…
NTA. Charging more for babysitting sends the message that your time has value and makes parents less likely to take advantage.

“Emergency community meeting? Sounds fishy. NTA for feeling deceived.”

NTA’s explanation seems bogus. Were they really at a community meeting?

Charging for babysitting? Creepy or just undervaluing your work?

NTA holy shit! They took advantage of you. How scummy.

NTA. Communication is key in emergency situations.

Unbelievable! Who leaves their kids alone?

NTA. A heartbreaking story of trust, betrayal, and redemption.

Taking advantage of you? That’s not cool!

NTA, but Thanksgiving plans confusion leads to poor phrasing
