“She sees a dog sniffing our son. We are both like …we don’t own any dogs and have no plans to ever own any dogs. We try calling, no answer, so we rush home. We go inside, and the babysitter is holding our son, and there is a golden retriever just hanging out. Everyone is calm and fine.”
“The babysitter seems shocked we are already home. I ask the babysitter why there is a dog in our house. She says it’s her golden retriever and decided to bring it today. The babysitter assures us the dog is baby and kid-friendly and is sweet and safe.”
The thing is, he doesn’t want his son to be anywhere near any dog because he’s so little. He didn’t care that the babysitter was promising that her dog was lovely; it made him upset.
He stood there and got more infuriated, though, especially since the babysitter never once mentioned to them that she was going to bring her dog to their home.
If the babysitter had been honest about bringing her dog, he would have still told her no.
“I just firmly tell her to grab her dog and please leave,” he said. “I inform her we won’t be using her in the future and pay her half her rate we had agreed upon, mostly since we used her less than half the time we were going to be out.”
“She asks for the full amount. I told her, no, you put my kid in danger, and you should leave. She says she did nothing wrong, but I don’t see it that way.”
He’s left wondering if he handled things in the right way. What do you think?
