Lunatic Mom Insists Her Neighbor Must Babysit Her Kid, Goes Livid When She Sends Her Son There And The Neighbor Is Not Home
As if getting along with your neighbors wasn’t enough of a challenge already, some next-door residents take the craziness to a whole new level. Especially if that includes dealing with not just entitled, but a very entitled parent.
All this and more happened to one work-from-home mom of two boys, age 5 and 10. In a viral post on r/EntitledParents, the author shared how years ago, “this new neighbor of mine kept trying for the better part of a summer to use me as a free babysitter.” It turned out, the lady kept dropping off her 7-year-old at the author’s door in the early mornings. Even after telling her a solid “Stop sending your kid over, I am NOT a baby-sitter!” the senseless behavior continued, pushing the author to the brink of insanity.
So let’s see how this neighbor drama progressed in the full story below, which will make you want to hug your neighbors, however loud their music may be, because now you know… it could be worse. Worse times infinity.

And this is what people commented on the whole situation
The best way to handle this would have been to call the police and say "I have a lost child who has been abandoned by his mother. Can you some find out who he belongs to?" And if the neighbor protests...let her know your next call will be to child protective services to report her for child abandonment.
that's the only right way. Be sure to have a video where she leaves the child unattended on your door

Some people are literally living carpets who let people just walk all over them. This woman doing absolutely everything to protect the crazy woman from herself by not calling the cops on her that first day is just too much.
Seriously? The story makes the woman sound pretty crazy but there were like 5 easy solutions for this on the second time she did it. Some random man calls up and yells at you? You get the police involved pronto.
When it became clear that she was leaving him on purpose (and it wasn’t that she’d had an emergency or something), poster should definitely have involved the police and told them she was leaving her child alone when she went to work.
My best friend's mother use to pull this sort of thing all the time. My best friend was just at our house everyday. One weekend we pack our bags and go to stay at my uncle's house on the beach for the weekend. We get back late Sunday night and my friend is in our screened in porch. She was 7 or 8 at the time and had ripped open the screen and slept on the porch all weekend. We couldn't find her mother until she showed up a few days later to pick her up. My parents divorced and we moved away but my dad stayed. My friend calls up my dad one day saying her mother had been gone for a week and asked my dad to come get her. She didn't know where she was so my dad had to get the police involved to try and figure out where my friend was. Nightmare.
These reddit posts are starting to be too many and l really don't understand the point of them! 99% of the cases are extreme situations that have an obvious wtf reaction! Nothing for debate at least....
abandoning a minor ('cause she is clearly leaving child somewhere forcing other to care) in Italy is a crime
I’m a very easygoing person, don’t like confrontations, but I would’ve called the cops the first time, saying someone abandoned their kid. Not my problem.
I'd have called cops second time, not first time. Because there's a background you don't know, there's maybe a screwup/misunderstanding, whatever. Second time it's clearly a safety/mental health issue; you call the police and that's clear enough --- child services are so overbooked they're not going to take on a new case just because it's possible there's problems... so you can do that first police call without real risk to the kid.

I remember working retail at a drugstore that had a toy aisle. We were in a fairly small town, but I remember being shocked one day when we discovered this mother had dropped her group of small, young children (the eldest could not have been more than ten or eleven and the youngest was five or so) in our store and told them she'd pick them up in an hour. The kids were rowdy at best, running around, throwing bouncy balls and stuff. My assistant manager immediately asked them to find their parent and stay out of the toy aisle and they told her their mom wasn't there. I was so happy when the mom came by to watch my ASM tell her if she ever did it again, we WOULD call the police and they would consider it child abandonment. The mom was genuinely shocked that we wouldn't be a free daycare for her grade schoolers. The mom in this story truly should have called CPS or the police. They would have at least contacted the father who really seems like he had no idea what was really going on.
Yeah, no, you call child protective services. How is that not the first thing this person did?
She's a doormat. Mostly. And for some reason she thought that it would not benefit the child.

She was too nice, which is why the neighbour took advantage of her. CANCEL my interview? Hell no. Nowadays we call CPS in a heartbeat because these experiences have made us cynical
Firstly, that woman was insane and I definitely would have put my foot down early on, but besides that, when she went for the library interview, couldn't she have just let the kid wander around in the library during the interview? I'm just wondering. Or maybe postponed for family emergency?
No no, you're a baby sitter. Does she know you charge $100 per hour?
The child was abandoned and the police should have been called the first time she pulled this stunt. That poor boy will grow up one day and understand the extent of his mother's neglect. A friend of mine is a home daycare provider and had something similar happen, but the woman who dropped off the kid was a complete stranger. She 'd never met the woman or the child before. The mother literally dropped the kid at the door and left. No information about the kid and no contact information. My friend had no choice but to call the police.
Child services and police. This woman should not be responsible Sibley for a child. Kind of passed me off that she didn't call police. God knows what else was happening
After the first time, I would call the police and tell them that a child in my neighborhood is being routinely abandoned by his mother and that I am being harassed by the mother.
We had a neighbor do something similar. The very first time we met she came over one evening with her little daughter who was the same age as my youngest son (3.5), and introduced herself. I invited them in to chat because my kids and I were in the middle of making cookies and I was so proud to show off how domestic I was (normally if you dropped by unannounced you’d catch me watching judge Judy and folding laundry while my kids destroy the house quietly). Anyway, after chatting a bit, she says out of nowhere, “what time should I come back for her?” And I was taken so far aback I just said, uh, an hour? And from that point in she’d send the little girl over every time she had to run to the store or something. The worst part was the girl would walk to our house alone and just show up at the door. We live in the country so it was a long walk and there’s always yahoo’s driving way to fast, an I never knew when she was coming to go meet her out there. It was nuts.
This story if not about race BUT, can't seem to shake off the idea of how many black and hispanic moms get called on CPS after one 1 child endangerment situation..... I was reading and that's all the came to mind... CALL CPS after the very 1st time.... I mean who does that?...you don't know who lives in the neighbors house...could be a criminal...could be a sexual predator.... like really!!!
I once agreed to look after a friend's 2 sons for him just for the morning whilst he worked. The next day they showed up at 7am. He thought we had made an arrangement that I would look after them all week. I had thought it was for one day only. I wouldn't care but I had a 4yo and a 1yo of my own. His boys were 5 and 7. Some people are just takers.
See, that went on too long. First day, I would have been calling the authorities. For sure by 2nd time the woman pulled this.
If you're going to steal posts from Reddit, why not steal the ones that actually might have happened?
The lady sounded like a drunk, 🥴 I wonder if she was spending the money on alcohol 🍺🍻🍾🥂🥃🍹🍷
The dumbass lady was lucky you weren't a trafficker wtf kind of parenting is that.
I would've punched her so hard she forgot my address. It would have been worth it to tell my side to the judge.
Exactly! It should be a new category on BP! Science fiction!

No. That wouldn’t be co side red funny. In fact, it would get YOU arrested. I’ll bet you think it’s funny to yell BOMB! in an airport too—-then are genuinely surprised to be taken away by law enforcement and TSA for it.
