Some people would do pretty much anything for their family. As Dominic Toretto always said, :The most important thing in life will always be family". Well, for one Redditor, the most important thing in his life, is sleep. And apparently nothing in this world could threatened to deprive him of his 8 hours– not even the near d3ath experience of a family member.

This one goes out to all the nannies and babysitters out there!

She can't understand why someone wouldn't want to work for 100 dollars a week.

This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit . This cousin is br…

This lady makes a compelling candidate for the worst mother-in-law!

Caring for other people's kids can be an enticing career for those who like working with children; the only downside is that—well— they're other people's children.

No matter what, that person is going to feel violated and betrayed. (An obvious exception to this rule is if you or someone else is in a possibly dangerous or threatening situation.) So, yeah, if you're recording a guest in your home without their permission, don't be surprised if that person is upset when…

When the kid is more mature than the adults.

Yeah, not a bright idea at all.

That's how it's done.

Not going to cut it.

It's funny how people are when they think nobody is looking.

The nerve on this guy.
