A family’s trusted babysitter was unexpectedly dismissed. This drastic action came after she dialed 911 in a moment of panic concerning their baby. A Reddit user recently shared a story that has since captured the attention of many. The Original Poster (OP), new to Reddit, recounted an incident involving his wife, their trusted babysitter, and a medical emergency with their youngest son. The couple have had their babysitter, Daisy, for years, trusting her with the care of their two sons and daughter. Daisy began babysitting as a young teenager under her mother’s supervision,
Now 16, she had grown into her role, becoming a beloved figure to the children, especially the older two. The family’s youngest son, only 7 months old, had yet to form a strong bond with her, given his age. “But he seems relatively happy when he’s with her,” OP explained. Just recently, when the kids’ daycare was closed for renovations, Daisy offered to look after the children from 3:30 to 6 p.m. OP returned home early to discover his wife berating Daisy, who was in tears and kept on apologizing.
Initially unaware of the cause, OP said, “I asked my wife what was going on and all she did was just start yelling that Daisy had cost us a bunch of money, my first thought was that she’d broken something, but my wife wasn’t telling me what it was.” While OP’s spouse was at it, Daisy ran out of their home crying and he decided to go to the other room to let the mother of his kids calm down first. OP went to comfort his children who were all in tears in another room while their mother was busy scolding their babysitter.
