If they call again, just make sure to negotiate a rate ahead of time.

PSA: Don't "pay" your emergency babysitter in food

jdub All-American

3/25/17 9:51pm

So....what is the babysitting rate in donut holes?

jrifkin48

3/25/17 9:52pm

Extremely lame

acougfan

3/25/17 9:52pm

That's a sure way to get people turning them down in the future.

gwalker

3/25/17 9:52pm

Total crap move.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 9:53pm

Wow, that's pathetic

Bob Vance

3/25/17 9:54pm

As a parent, I'd confront them about it. That's absurd.

KingDave

3/25/17 9:54pm

I agree , I would talk to them about it

acougfan

3/25/17 9:55pm

Seriously. Get your lazy butts to the ATM.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 9:55pm

2 10 oz. cups of donut holes from Krispy Kreme

jdub

3/25/17 9:56pm

Wow. That's terrible

YIsForBrigham

3/25/17 9:57pm

According to fastfoodmenuprices.com, that's $4.38 worth of donuts.

KingDave

3/25/17 10:00pm

For 2.5 hours of babysitting 3 kids, on a last minute call.

jdub

3/25/17 10:03pm

Okay. Time to post their address. 58.4¢ per hour per kid.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 10:38pm

Time to post a fake KSL ad for Jazz tickets.

Pimpin4Paradise

3/25/17 10:42pm

*free

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 10:46pm

Yep. Then post the link here so we can all bombard them with texts and calls.

Pimpin4Paradise

3/25/17 10:47pm

Is there a Jazz home game during Conference Weekend?

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 10:53pm

Friday night

Pimpin4Paradise

3/25/17 11:11pm

Perfect. C'mon jdub. Let's make this happen.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 11:13pm

This is the best idea I've heard all month.

shakinbaker

3/25/17 11:08pm

I wouldn't screw around with the fbi, dude.

shimmy

3/25/17 11:23pm

People contact the FBI for that?

LaVellIfIKnow

3/26/17 12:21am

I'd probably just very friendly say "people who pay in donut holes

CDV

3/25/17 9:56pm

I'd just let it go. Nothing good will come from confronting them. If needed,

cracka

3/25/17 9:57pm

Yeah I'd probably pay my kid myself and tell the kid never to accept a job from them again.

Slim

3/25/17 10:01pm

This is what we're doing.

jdub

3/25/17 10:05pm

Is this the first time she babysat for them?

calblue

3/25/17 10:11pm

This is likely what I would do. No way would I let her sit for them again though

CougarBacker

3/25/17 10:14pm

Please tell me you subtracted the dollar value of the donut holes from her pay.

shakinbaker

3/25/17 11:09pm

If they call again, just make sure to negotiate a rate ahead of time.

brj8

3/26/17 11:00am

Bull, they need to be called out for that crap.

Kerbouchard

3/26/17 1:15am

Parents need to be confrontational...

Joel Tilton

3/25/17 9:54pm

Never babysit for them again.

PharmD

3/25/17 9:56pm

Was this like "we need a babysitter to take our other child to the ER" or "we need a babysitter so we can go watch

Slim

3/25/17 9:57pm

They had a date scheduled for after the women's broadcast, and the regular babysitter bailed last minute.

jdub

3/25/17 9:58pm

Wow. What a couple of pieces of work.

Slim

3/25/17 9:59pm

So... they planned to pay the original babysitter in donut holes?

ballen

3/25/17 10:51pm

That's my question too

Mike Honcho

3/25/17 11:42pm

Maybe the original babysitter stiffed them on purpose because of their cheapness

JONBOY

3/26/17 9:48am

Is she fat?

Malathion

3/25/17 9:57pm

That's manipulative, had someone stiff me in my ward. To this day ticks me off

DumpsterFire

3/25/17 9:57pm

Ouch! I was always paid in food but I knew before hand that was the payment type. Those parents are rude.

byuluvr

3/25/17 9:57pm

10 bucks says they pay net tithing.

PharmD

3/25/17 10:00pm

Cry me a river ...

MormonDevil

3/25/17 10:00pm

Is he fat?

Malathion

3/25/17 10:02pm

Wow! That's a lot of babysitting.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 10:02pm

That's a LOT of donut holes. How long did you babysit for?

Slim

3/25/17 10:02pm

Send him to collections

Conan

3/25/17 10:12pm

Tell her not to be a wuss

Alister Mackenzie

3/25/17 10:02pm

Tell your daughter to tell them that she loved the donut holes so much, she told

Hank Rearden

3/25/17 10:02pm

Next time they ask she can say, "No thanks, I'm full."

rocker

3/25/17 10:03pm

Did you pay her? Be a good dad and give her $10

Chester Copperpot

3/25/17 10:03pm

yep.

jdub

3/25/17 10:09pm

I'll give her some money too. 100%. BM your address and name.

Chester Copperpot

3/25/17 10:14pm

we're good, but thanks for the offer.

jdub

3/25/17 10:18pm

How come people will do this but no pinball machine for TNT?

TNT

3/25/17 10:24pm

Because you need someplace to plug it in.

Six Foot Seven

3/25/17 10:28pm

Hahahahahaha, this is nice, but weird.

messi

3/26/17 8:51am

Said the aptly named Chester.

shimmy

This would be a fun CB gofundme, contingent upon the girl confronting them

Seaward

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

3/26/17 10:00pm

Give me their number and I'll call them.

slowhiteguy

3/25/17 10:06pm

Seriously.

slowhiteguy

3/25/17 10:07pm

Better yet, post it here and we'll all call them.

Kerbouchard

3/26/17 1:16am

That would be entertaining

TNT

3/25/17 10:24pm

Gee I wonder why their regular babysitter was unavailable tonight?

CougarBacker

3/25/17 10:11pm

On a diet.

DumpsterFire

3/25/17 10:21pm

Please post their address here. They need a flaming bag of poop on their porch.

blackandblue

3/25/17 10:21pm

Maybe we can cover their lawn in donut holes.

Good learning experience for her. She learned two things tonight:

CougBlu

3/25/17 10:23pm

Too many women in LDS culture get a free pass for not controlling emotions. She

DumpsterFire

3/25/17 10:30pm

Yeah. She definitely wore the pants in that relationship.

CougBlu

Yikes

TNT

3/25/17 10:32pm

Ridiculous. my only expectation is for everyone to be alive when we get home

ballen

3/25/17 10:57pm

We are the same. We always give the kid more if the house is clean though.

Superman21

3/25/17 11:31pm

If this is true id be taking advantage of their lawn

CarolinaCoug

I'm sorry, I really do feel for your daughter, but that gave me a good belly

Pimpin4Paradise

3/25/17 10:33pm

Pelt their garage door with donut holes. In fact, these are probably the type of people that park in the driveway

Ragnar Danneskjold

3/25/17 10:37pm

This is probably true

TNT

3/25/17 10:38pm

No wonder the other sitter cancelled. Make sure your daughter warns everyone

Michelle Obama is outraged!

baldcougar

3/25/17 11:14pm

We overpay our sitters. We never have a difficult time finding someone to babysit. Perhaps these things are connected?

HarlemCoug

3/26/17 12:51am

I hope you told them that was highly inappropriate, and she'll never sit for

Kerbouchard

3/26/17 1:14am

Next time they call just have her decline

Coug98

3/26/17 5:42am

Hang in CB let's get all the facts; How many donut holes?

MormonThug

jdub

3/26/17 10:28am

I would hope she would never babysit for them again.

Born2Fish

3/26/17 6:41am

Even if this weren't posted on CB, I would assume these people were LDS

jbcoug

3/26/17 6:57am

Here's a photo of what she was paid.

jdub

3/26/17 10:28am

Remind her to donate a couple of the donut holes to the Bishop as tithing.

rocker

Donut holes are like a couple bucks--not cool.
