He Screamed At His Wife After She Made Their Babysitter Cry And Fired Her For Calling An Ambulance
Two years ago, this man and his wife hired their babysitter, Daisy, to help them out with their kids. They have a daughter and two sons, and Daisy is old enough at 16 to now watch their kids all alone and without the help of her mom.
His oldest children absolutely adore Daisy, and he’s sure his youngest son will too, but he’s only 7-months-old right now and too little to really show that, though he seems quite happy when in the care of Daisy.
On Friday, the daycare his kids go to ended up being closed to complete some revonavations, but Daisy was available to watch everyone from 3:30 to 6 pm.
As he returned home from work on Friday night, he opened the door to find his wife screaming at Daisy while Daisy sobbed and said sorry.
He questioned his wife about what on earth was happening, and she began shouting that Daisy had cost them a ton of money.
He initially thought that perhaps Daisy broke an object in their home, but his wife wouldn’t give him more information.
His wife yelled at Daisy that she wasn’t getting paid to babysit before she kicked her out of their home.
“Daisy then ran out crying, and I left my wife to calm down while I comforted my kids (they were all crying in a different room while my wife yelled at Daisy),” he explained.
“When everything had calmed down, I got the full story from my wife. So here’s what happened: My mother had been looking after the kids until 3:30 while we were at work. This was Daisy’s first time looking after my youngest son, though we knew we could trust her with the babies since she looked after my daughter alone when she was a baby.”

“Something important that you should know is that my youngest son has breath-holding episodes, which occur when he gets frustrated or is in pain, and he will just hold his breath. To stop them, you just have to blow on the baby, or they will just snap out of it on their own; they’re completely normal and relatively safe in babies.”
The episodes his son has can make his son blue or pass out, but he promises it’s normal, and his son always snaps back into it within seconds.
Anyway, his mom never told Daisy about it. His son wound up passing out, and Daisy freaked and dialed 911 before calling his wife.
His wife is furious that Daisy called 911 for what she says is no reason, and his wife is also upset they had to pay for the ambulance ride.
He and his wife got into an enormous fight, as he believes Daisy was right, but his wife clearly doesn’t agree.
“…We both said some hurtful stuff, and she is now staying with her mother for a few days while she ‘thinks over [her] priorities in the relationship,'” he said.
He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him to yell at his wife after she screamed at their babysitter, fired the poor girl, and made her cry on top of everything.
