80 Entitled And Delusional Parents Who Thought Babysitting Their Kids Was A Privilege, Not A Job
It’s no secret that raising children is far from cheap. Between diapers, clothes, food, childcare and everything else that comes with keeping a little human happy and healthy, the costs can quickly pile up. Some parents, however, seem determined to save money wherever they can, even when it comes at someone else’s expense.
We’ve gathered some absolutely ridiculous babysitting requests and expectations from entitled parents who had no shame about asking for far too much. Scroll down to see them for yourself, and upvote the ones you found the most outrageous.

AIO For Demanding To Be Paid After Wearing Something Inappropriate To Babysit
hi! i am 15 and have been babysitting this family for over a year. they are more on the conservative side, and a lot more religious than my family, but they are generally nice and i love their kids. i did not receive payment from them the last time i babysat, and so i reached out and they are now saying they will not pay me the full price because i was wearing something inappropriate. just wondering if i am overreactingreacting for context, i was wearing a sweatshirt over my tanktop (3rd pic) and only took it off after the kids asked me to run around with them. i babysat from 4 to 10:30, and normally charge 15 dollars w a 5 dollar increase per kid, so 20 dollars for 2 kids.

$10 A Day To Babysit?? How Is This The Normal Rate???
Midoribird Aoi 29 minutes ago
To clarify something: when I was a kid, in the nineties or so, ten dollars a day was the norm...twenty for an all day/evening sitter in the summer. Now? It most certainly is not.

Aio? Parents Want Me To Babysit My 18 Year Old Sister When I Don’t Have Much Spare Time
My (32F) parents and grandmothers are going on a week long cruise starting on 8/31. They haven’t mentioned anything about keeping tabs on my younger sister. Tonight, my mum texted me this. Maybe I was a bit blunt, but I honestly don’t understand what she wants me to do. My sister is 18 and I physically can’t be home until 5 pm. My parents called me (they’re prone to getting loud and intense) and I said she can stay with me so I can see her in the evenings and she won’t have to sleep alone. My mum said “so she’s just going to be alone m?” And I said “for most of the day, yes”. And she said “wow, ok”. My dad was in the background yelling at me. I am a people pleaser and my parents put a lot of their responsibilities on me as a child. They are used to me bending over backwards for them and putting their/my sisters’ needs before mine. This is probably the first boundary I’ve set. Anyway, this whole situation pissed me off and I said “This is wild. Make it make sense” which made them more mad. I got off the phone and blocked them for the night because what I’m not going to do is let them stress me out. I came a long way with my mental health for this. Am I overreacting? Is there something more I can do?

My husband's ex was "uncomfortable" having him pick his son up after work like he usually does on a day when she would be out for dinner, because it meant son would be home alone for several hours. Son was 16, his 19 year old brother lives downstairs. So yeah, I believe some parents are this pathetic

Babysitter Choosing Beggars; People Should Just Babysit For Free!!
Upstaged75 1 hour ago
These people would croak if they found out what nannies in my area charge. I used to be a professional nanny when I was younger and my rates were $20 to $25 an hour. Even $30 an hour is common around here now. I still babysit occasionally and my rate is $25.

Woman Wants Infant Care For $3/Hour Because She's A Single Mom That Iives With Her Father And He Won't Watch The Kid. Also Justifies The Payrate Because She Only Made $100 A Week Back 15 Years Ago When She Babysat For Someone. Late Shift, Expects Babysitter To Also Drop Off And Pickup Said Child
She had originally posted this last week and edited it when people told her that $130 was far too little to pay to watch an infant. Especially wanting you to drop that kid off after midnight. States her dad will be home to take the kid even if she stays out later and that he just doesn't want to babysit for her. Someone did offer to babysit for $200 a week but she pretty much ignored the woman's offer since it's out of her budget....
