SAHM babysits neighbor's kids as a one-time favor, neighbor expects her to watch her children every afternoon moving forward: ‘I'm not a full-time babysitter’

The people who think that stay-at-home parents have nothing to do all day, this one's for you.

It is a laborious task, raising kids. Especially as a new parent, you never know what to expect around the corner. You can read all of the parenting books you want, but at the end of the day, it's up to you and the little (cute) monster you've created.

This next story is a testament to never doing anything nice for anyone, ever. I'm kidding, I'm kidding… But it is a cautionary tale to never be overly nice to someone, either. This new stay-at-home mom does her neighbor a favor and watches her kids for her while she goes out to tend to an emergency. Now, her neighbor anticipates needing this free babysitting service every afternoon moving forward, explaining to the SAHM that she doesn't really do anything anyway.

Say it with me: I will not do free labor. Really internalize that mantra. It seems like in and outside of the workforce, entitled people will try to get one over on you. Stay wary. Scroll below to read the entire story.
