Babysitting is one of those universal teen jobs that almost every girl has tried to make some extra cash. Sure, it can be a nightmare wrangling unruly kids or dealing with out-of-touch parents, but the money is usually worth it. I remember babysitting for this wealthy family with three kids who had no bedtime. By the time their parents got back from a late date night, I'd be exhausted from trying to get them to calm down. Especially since they had a basement trampoline they'd use well past midnight. It was complete chaos, but nothing compared to one woman's experience when her babysitting gig took a creepy turn.

In her case, she was stuck babysitting while dealing with the dad's overly "friendly" attitude. At first, she tried brushing it off, but the vibes got way too uncomfortable. Knowing she couldn't just ignore it, she took matters into her own hands, recording his flirty comments. She decided to confront the issue head-on and showed the evidence to his wife. Let's just say, things got pretty messy from there.

    So, I (19F) babysit for some extra cash. A couple months ago, I started sitting for my neighbors' kids, who I'll call "Tom" and "Sarah." I've always been close with the kids, they're adorable and I liked being there, so I thought it was a good setup.

    But one night, things got weird. They came home late, and Sarah had obviously had a few drinks. She went upstairs, and Tom stayed back to pay me. As he's handing me the money, he's like, "You've really grown up fast." He

    stood up and told him I wasn't interested, and he's all like, "Relax, no need to overreact." But it felt... wrong. I got this bad feeling, and so I made an excuse to leave as soon as Sarah got home.

    I wasn't sure if I should tell anyone, but I wanted to protect myself in case he tried anything like that again, so I recorded a conversation with him on my phone the next time he texted me. I just felt so creeped out.

    Sarah texted me a couple days later, asking if I could babysit again, saying they were in a pinch. I didn't want to do it, but when she noticed my hesitation, she asked if something was wrong. I felt like she deserved to know, so I told her everything.

    She went de d silent after that. Later that night, Tom blows up my phone with messages, calling me a liar and saying I was "trying to mess up his life" because he wasn't "interested in me." I sent Sarah the recording to prove

    what I was saying was true, and she ended up confronting him. Now their relationship is in shambles, and he's telling people I'm just doing this for "attention." It's a mess. I'm feeling a bit guilty

    because I didn't mean to ruin their family, but I also didn't feel right babysitting after what he said and did. AITA?

    Joyful RoseGlimmer • 11h ago • NTA. Tom made you uncomfortable, and you had every right to stop babysitting. You protected yourself by telling Sarah the truth, and his actions are what caused the fallout, not you. Don't feel guilty, you did the right thing.

    DrPablisimo • 11h ago • Are they still asking you to babysit? You need to stay far away from that guy. He did wrong. You exposed his wrongdoing. It's on him.
