40 Delusional Parents That Tried To Cheap Out On A Babysitter

The following posts were found online when aggressive parents posted on social media in search of a babysitter. However, the kicker is that most of these jobs seem to entail a massive loss for the babysitter with hardly any pay or benefits to make the gig more salvageable.

I’ve seen a lot of posts asking for childcare at below-poverty wages. And a lot of the time I get it, childcare is stupidly expensive and yet it’s a necessity for most families. But this woman’s request takes the cake. The audacity and delusion are just top-notch. She has since deleted any negative comments to her post, but the request is still up.

Thrillion: This is an HOA community? What does that have to do with it other than maybe you can’t park at the house? I guess this would work if a couple applies with one the nanny/house keeper and the other working for pay.
