It can be very exhausting to take care of children while working, so many parents send their kids to their grandparents’ homes or hire a babysitter to watch over them.
But one mother was left furious after she found out that her husband let their babysitter use their shower while she was at work. To make things work, her husband didn’t tell her that he skipped work that day.
Taking to Reddit, the unnamed woman explained that she hired a babysitter for her children, aged 3 and 5.
But when she returned home, she found out that her husband had called in sick and that her babysitter had ‘new clothes on and wet hair.’
“He told me she took a shower after one of the kids spilled milk on her. I was confused and visibly upset but she tried to ‘reassure’ me the kids were fine because my husband watched them while she took her shower which only lasted for a few minutes,” she wrote.
However, she was baffled that her husband did not go to work that day. When she asked him why he allowed the babysitter to use their shower, he said that he didn’t think it was big of a deal.
“I told the babysitter that I did not appreciate how she basically ignored how I felt about this and dismissed my feelings still,” the wife continued.
The babysitter said the wife was being unfair after she told her about potentially cutting her salary because of that.
“My husband keeps saying that I’m overreacting and the ‘poor girl’ couldn’t handle having milk stains on her body and clothes. But I couldn’t help but feel it was inappropriate and she should’ve checked with me.”
People on Reddit were quick to share their thoughts on the matter, with one person commenting: “The issue is definitely not the shower. The issue is the husband potentially skipping work to hang around the babysitter.”
Another wrote: “Um. You hired a babysitter. Your husband was at home when he was supposed to be working. The babysitter went to clean up. I’m seeing a potentially bigger problem here.”
A third added: “She said she didn’t know her husband was home and not working. He can’t even send her a text? I don’t think she had an issue with the sitter showering. I think she has an issue with her husband omitting details by not letting her know he was home/didn’t have to work.”
