brother-in-law brother sister sister-in-law family drama bil sil sleep sleepy sleeping sleep-schedule working-nights betray family-emergency niece nephew uncle aunt

'You burned a bridge': Man would rather catch up on sleep than babysit his nephew, meanwhile the boy's aunt undergoes treatment in the ICU after a potentially fatal car accident

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.

'That's a ridiculous rate': Entitled vacationing family has a meltdown over childcare costs

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…

"Dramatic" nanny quits after insane parent demands they come into work after being hit by a car

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. This means that you have to deal with the often inaccurate perceptions of other adults, who hold tight to their wildly inaccurate beliefs, with these same adults also holding the final say over what goes with their children, no matter how damaging their decision might be. When working as a nanny, these problems intensify. Long and of…

Parents ditch babysitter with kids and put them on "do not disturb"

Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours.

Parents Surprised Babysitter is Upset They Have Been Secretly Recording Her, Wonder if They're Wrong

It really should go without saying that you should never record someone without their knowledge, regardless of the location or circumstance. It doesn't matter if that person is in your home. 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…
