First-Time Mom Catches Babysitter Napping On Duty On A Hidden Camera, People Aren't Sure Who's In The Wrong

A crying baby is much louder than the sound of a text. And a woken baby in a crib either sits there completely safe or cries their heart out. Unless we are thinking about suffocating in their sleep or being kidnapped by a silent intruder, all things that could happen to the parents at any time, any night. That being said, she really should have turned the monitor, just to be safe. And clearly if you accidentally fall asleep, you can't do much about it. It happens. But usually people try to look good the first day of the job... I would give her a second chance and talk to her about what I accept and don't accept. C'mon, maybe that night before she hadn't slept because she assisted her sick mother, who knows?

If the kid is asleep and safely tucked away in the cot, I don't see a problem. I won't judge this lady but I think I know the type...

The Mom is over reacting. I mean... I get it - I was a nervous wreck first time I left my kid with a sitter but honestly.... every parent sleeps when the baby sleeps. They are in their beds. They are safe. They are sleeping. There was no risk to the child and no reason why the sitter could not also sleep.

Easy, don't go out! If you hire a sitter and tell her cameras, we go out but we watch your every step, we also don't want you to sleep, and here's a list of acceptable activities while child is asleep (as he is alive and sleeping isn't enough).if the sitter agrees to those terms PAY them, if not find someone who will otherwise stop going out. Wait till your kids go to school, imagine the horror nobody will give him 24/7 attention in a group environment with rules. In future when your child falls asleep in class the teacher will come to you saying how inappropriate it is as it's his working hours, do better as a mum. I babysat mon-fri 3-4 hours in the evenings, after school so if the child was fed and napping I either napped or studied. I was 19. Sorry children are exhausting, and that's why I don't have them. When you have them you make sure YOU are responsible, let the sitter know it is not acceptable to have no monitor on, but sleeping while baby sleeps is human

what other way? My grocery list says how many cucumbers i.e. 2 cucumbers. It would never occur to me to purchase by weight. I mean... what if half kilo is actually 1.3 cucumbers? Do you ask the store to cut them up?

Husband Plans To Leave 33-Week High-Risk Pregnant Wife And A Toddler Alone For A Trip To Another Continent, Wife Wonders If She's Wrong To Be Upset About It

I think it's a combination of a lot of things. When you are in a relationship where there is gaslighting you just don't see the red flags. It sounds naïve, but gaslighters are very adept at manipulating your experience of what actually happened. I think women feel the expectation to change themselves to be a "good wife" while men dont tend to experience the pressure to be a 'good' husband. In some cases where women might perhaps recognise their partner's shortfall, its not necessary that she thinks she can change him, but that she thinks he will step up to be a good parent and husband when the time comes. Except that a lot of men simply don't. And in some cases, particularly where coercive control is at play in the relationship, the behaviours dont manifest until after the child is born, and then as Lara M so rightly identifies... its too late.

NTA. My husband would not travel more than 2 hours away from me after 30 weeks for both of my pregnancies. He was particularly attentive for the second pregnancy when we were also living overseas and away from my support network. The thought of laboring without him was awful - and I didn't have the risk and trauma that you are dealing with. As disappointed as he might be, and I get that he would be, its time to be a good man and support his growing family.

You're not the mother of two. You're the mother of three. It's time to kick the eldest out of the nest (change the locks) and make him fly on his own.

When I was about 15/16 I was staying at a friend's house for the first time, and while he and I were in his room playing computer games, I heard his mother scream his name. He turned to me with a serious look I'd never seen on his face and said "Please stay here" before walking out of the bedroom. I heard him shout his father's name before a couple of loud crashes. That was the day I found out his father would get drunk a physically assault his younger siblings. He was 15/16 f*****g years old and was the only thing between this grown man and his pre-pubescent loved ones. And it was so normal that he knew what was up when his mother called his name. His mother knew she needed him, he knew what he was going out there to do, and he knew he didn't want me to witness it. We had some very honest discussions about a lot of things after that. As he got a little older, he started addressing these issues at more appropriate times than when it was forced upon him. His father sought help and they are now a loving and supportive family. I often think about that night (and a few subsequent ones). When I think about the man I want to be, it is no secret amongst the people that know, that I want to grow up to be like that 15 year old boy. And I'm lucky to still call him one of my best friends over 20 years later. **tl;dr** I found out my childhood friend was living with an abusive father.
