Mom Thought That She Could Pay Her Child's Babysitter With 'Ice Cream and Fun' But The Babysitter Was Not Having It

There are many stories circulating the internet about moms trying to hustle free services or items from others.

We are not here to judge, because being a mom is a difficult job, and raising kids is expensive. However, it’s not really nice to agree to pay someone for their time, services, or products and then just ghost them when payment time arrives.

We came across one case where a mom thought that a babysitter shouldn’t be paid because her kids are fun and easy to take care of.

We can’t really believe that in the entire history of the universe, there has been a single babysitter who said, “This is so awesome, I would absolutely do this for free!”

Parents often forget that taking care of their kids is their responsibility and joy, and a job for others. They can’t expect babysitters to do it out of sheer joy. This story was originally posted on Reddit, and we can clearly see that the mom agrees to pay the babysitter $16 per hour.

You are not mistaken. She is really trying to pay the babysitter with a “day of fun” and “free ice cream.” Fortunately, the babysitter had screenshots of the previous conversation.

The conversation heated up when the mom accused the babysitter of being “stuck up” for simply asking for the amount they had agreed upon. It would be great if the babysitter could take her to small claims court. Is there a lawyer in the house?

This mom blocked the babysitter immediately after that, so the last message was not delivered. Blocking is the main weapon of those trying to get away with, essentially, stealing. What is especially annoying is the use of the c-word. It is not enough that she got away without paying; she had to insult the poor babysitter too. We really hope that the babysitter found a way to get paid and that this mom got what she deserved.
