Woman Stops Paying The Babysitter After She Abandons Her Child For 10 Minutes

Jonathan Hayda

So a young and ungrateful babysitter could seriously brought you down in r/AmIthe*sshole.

OP hired a 15-year-old babysitter, Anna, recommended by their usual babysitter. OP and her husband went to a concert, expecting to be back by 10 PM. Due to a traffic jam, they called Anna around 9:45 PM, informing her they'd be about 10 minutes late.

Anna got mad, demanding an extra hour's pay ($14.50) for the delay. They offered compensation for the actual extra time, about $2.40, but Anna left, and they found out she took a bag of chips and broke an ornament. They invited her to discuss and pay the next day, but Anna refused, so they didn't pay her.

OP wonders if they are the A-hole for not paying Anna.

Here we go

Ok so we meet Anna, the new sitter

This looks pretty normal night with the sitter

OP called in advanced due to unexpected situation

I guess this girl never had any problems in her life

Hmmm, that's a little too little but a whole hour seems too much

No, you're not. She could have put your child in some danger

Well the camera confirms that you don't even need to pay her a dime

Thank god that it was the last time Anna worked for OP

Carelessness runs in the family

She is the AH, not you OP

Sad that it's like that

This comment is a soft AH

I don't think OP is the AH

So what do you guys think? I just felt bad that OP had to deal with Anna. Drop your comments below. Was OP the AH for treating a 15 year old girl like an adult?
