Stingy parents refuse to pay 19-year-old babysitter for the time that their child was sleeping: “We feel weird paying full price if you didn't really do anything”

I've done more than my fair share of babysitting in my lifetime, and dare I say that I'm actually pretty good at it? I have a really strong connection with my inner child, so distracting kids from their iPads is my specialty. I can't lie, though. The best babysitting gigs were the ones where parents simply needed someone to be home while they were away on a date night – the ones where I didn't even have to put the kids to sleep. Sure, sometimes they'd wake up, and I'd have to quell a tantrum when they realized that their parents weren't home, but it was usually smooth sailing with lots of Netflix and free snacks.

In our story today, a pair of stingy parents refuse to pay their 19-year-old babysitter for the time that she spent at their house watching over their son. Their reasoning is that he was asleep for the majority of the time, so she didn't really "do anything." Now she knows for next time, she's free to just leave as soon as the kid falls asleep!

Right, she should definitely make this argument, get the money that she desreves, and never babysit for them again!
