A babysitter's viral story has sparked a heated debate online after she received a furious text from the children's mother over a seemingly innocent decision.
The young carer, who was looking after two children, decided to order food via DoorDash when the kids said they were hungry. What happened next left her stunned.
The Text That Started It All
"I nearly fell off my chair when I read her message," the babysitter told reporters. "I was just trying to be kind and make sure the kids weren't hungry."
The mother's text allegedly read: "I can't believe you'd order takeaway without checking with me first! We have strict meal plans in this house."
Internet Divided
The story has gone viral with thousands weighing in on social media:
- Some parents argue the babysitter overstepped by making food decisions
- Others believe the mother's reaction was disproportionate
- Many are sharing their own childcare horror stories
Childcare expert Dr. Emily Parsons commented: "This highlights why clear communication between parents and carers is so crucial. Both parties could have handled this better."
The Aftermath
The babysitter says she won't be working for that family again, but has learned an important lesson about checking house rules beforehand.
Would you have done the same? The debate continues to rage online.
