Her Parents Charged Her $900 In Rent After She Babysat Her Brother For Free At Their House For 2 Whole Weeks, So She Clapped Back And Charged Them Over $5,000 For The Babysitting
This young woman is 23-years-old and admitted how she really does not get along with either her mom or her stepdad. With that being said, she would never willingly choose to stay over at their house except in the event of an emergency.
Just recently, though, her great-grandmother’s health was declining. And being that her great-grandma was “on her last legs,” her mother wanted to take a flight to have one last visit.
“And while I do not like my mom, I am also not a monster like her,” she said.
So, her parents wanted her to watch her little brother, who is 8-years-old, and she happily agreed.
Apparently, her other brother, who is 17, was unavailable since he works all day and sometimes even works nights. Her younger sister, who is 19, was also not an option– since her sister is “an irresponsible witch of a woman” who is just like her mother.
While she did agree to watch her little brother, though, she also gave her parents one condition– that her sister was not allowed to stay at the house while she was also there.
It appears as though her parents honored that condition, too, because she watched her little brother entirely alone for two whole weeks.
Ever since her parents recently got back from their trip, though, a ton of drama has ensued regarding her babysitting condition.
In fact, her parents actually had the nerve to charge her $900 and claim that it was two weeks’ worth of rent for the time she stayed at their house.

“Since I took up the whole house, making my sister leave for two weeks,” she added.
Her parents also tried to justify this charge further by pointing out how they were not home for the two weeks. So, due to the fact that she was the only person there, her parents believed it was only right that she pay their rent.
Quite frankly, though, she was appalled by this request. But, rather than getting into a big argument, she decided to give her parents a taste of their own medicine.
More specifically, she calculated how much money her babysitting services would have charged her parents at a rate of $20 per hour.
Afterward, she told her parents “sure” and claimed she would take their $900 rent off of her babysitting bill– meaning that her parents would owe her approximately $5,820.
“If my math is correct, and if they want to play this game,” she vented.
In spite of her savage come back to her parents, though, she is still torn about the whole situation.
So now, she has been left wondering whether not paying her mother two weeks’ worth of rent for the time she babysat her little brother at her mother’s house was a jerky thing to do or not.
Can you believe her parents wanted to charge her rent after she babysat for free for two whole weeks? Was her response to her parents appropriate? Do you think she should be expected to pay the $900? If you were in her shoes, how would you handle this situation?
