This is likely what I would do. No way would I let her sit for them again though
And if they ask why she won't sit for them, I would have no problem being honest about it

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

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

I agree , I would talk to them about it

Seriously. Get your lazy butts to the ATM.

2 10 oz. cups of donut holes from Krispy Kreme

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

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

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

CDV

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

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

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

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

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

Never babysit for them again.

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

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

Is she fat?
Malathion

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

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

10 bucks says they pay net tithing.

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

Send him to collections

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

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

Did you pay her? Be a good dad and give her $10
Chester Copperpot
3/25/17 10:03pm
yep.
jdub

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

we're good, but thanks for the offer.

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.

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

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

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

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

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