This 16-Year-Old Was Sick Of Babysitting For Her Dad’s Girlfriend, So She Put On A Scary Movie That Sent The Kids Running And Screaming
When this young woman was eleven years old, her mother and father got divorced. And in the process, both of her parents got split custody. But, she primarily lives with her mom and spends most weekends and summers at her dad’s house.
Anyway, she is now sixteen and has her own bedroom at her dad’s– for which she recently got a lock and key.
She ended up deciding to lock up her room whenever she was not there because her dad had started dating a new woman.
And after that woman, who is twenty-seven, and her two kids moved into her father’s house, the kids started going into her room. One time, the kids even wrecked some of her personal belongings.
“So, my dad replaced everything and told his girlfriend that my room was off-limits without my permission. He also got me a lock with a key that only he and I have,” she explained.
Aside from that, though, her dad seems pretty happy with his new girlfriend. And thankfully, her dad still makes her a priority and spends plenty of time with her.
Still, the only thing that really annoys her about the new living arrangement, though, is how her dad’s girlfriend always has other moms and kids over for play dates.
She recognizes that her dad’s girlfriend is allowed to do that. After all, they will likely get married, and having guests over would be a given.
But, whenever her dad’s girlfriend wants to hang out with other moms and drink some wine, she is always expected to watch the little ones– which really ticks her off.

“My dad’s girlfriend has even tried to leave the kids with me and go out for brunch with her friends. Not okay,” she said.
Her dad also agrees that she should not be a live-in babysitter whenever they have company. So, he told his girlfriend to knock it off and told her that she was not obligated to help out.
Well, yesterday, her dad’s girlfriend apparently conveniently forgot all about that conversation.
It all began after she got to her dad’s house for a long weekend and tried to relax in her bedroom. Then, all of a sudden, her dad’s girlfriend knocked on the door and walked in with four of her friend’s kids.
And if you could not have guessed it, her dad’s girlfriend wanted her to entertain the kids while the adults all hung out in the other room. She was not going to get dragged into babysitting again, though, and said no.
But, her dad’s girlfriend would not stop insisting– even after she said she was watching a horror movie called “Ready or Not” that is not meant for kids.
So, after a while, she was just forced to let the kids inside her bedroom.
And at first, everything was fine. She decided to leave the movie on– which starts out with a pretty wedding scene, and the kids were pretty uninterested.
Soon after, though, the killing started, and the kids went running and screaming in fear.
At that point, her dad’s girlfriend came barging into her room and freaked out on her for scaring all of the children. Then, her dad’s girlfriend even threatened to take her TV away.
She honestly just laughed in her dad’s girlfriend’s face, though, and closed the door.
Anyway, now her dad’s girlfriend is furious, accusing her of being a disrespectful brat and claiming that her TV should go in the kid’s playroom.
Her dad, thankfully, said no to his girlfriend’s wishes. Nonetheless, her dad still thinks that she could have handled the babysitting situation better and is disappointed in her.
So now, she has been left wondering whether or not using a scary movie to get the kids out of her room was the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she is obligated to watch the kids whenever her dad’s girlfriend asks? Was it wrong to leave the scary movie on, or a smart tactic? What would you have done had you been in her shoes?
