Did you read the letter? The babysitter used ‘there’ instead of ‘their’. Anon mocked correctly.

What the hell is wrong with getting a verbal run-down of the meals, activities, accidents, without requiring your overworked babysitter to write a novel about the kid??? Those parents are presumptuous and anal, and clearly should find another babysitter or daycare if they need daily reports on Junior's food intake. Also, plenty of EDUCATED people mix up "their", "there" and "they're" - no reflection on their overall intelligence. I’m with the babysitter.

Contracts spell out in a very efficient manner what is expected by both parties BEFORE the children go under the babysitter's care.

I wouldn't want y kids learning to communicate in that manner! Yeah, he asked for too much, but there was a much better way to handle it. Not only that but she acted suspious to me. I think she may have protested too much. And the grammar and spelling is a problem for me. This is a professional relationship. I have grammar problems as well, but before I turn things in, I ask for a look over often. She obviously does not care about how she appears to them. The continous justification as to why she refuses to provide the same env't as a daycare was akso weird. Altogether she seems like a bitch. He was wrong, but she was insane. Over reaction. Team Dad for sure!

Education level has nothing to do with ability to take care of kids. IQ, spelling and grammar are not dependent on each other. Hell, if I recall right, teachers said Einstien was stupid and wouldn't amount to much! My IQ is near mensa level- and you know what? I have dyslexia, and due to brain injury, I don't always spell things right and my grammar can be terrible. I also help at a daycare, up to and including teaching informal preschool- which was very successful and parents still ask when I can return. (I'm out due to surgery). So, lay off the babysitter for her lack of spelling skills and grammar- her lack in that area don't make her a bad person. Huh, who would have thought I’d decide to write here?

Let's hope she can speak better than spell, for the children's sake. How else do you communicate to the child to put down the draino and it's not a slushie? And to the parents: How hard is it to ASK the babysitter what your kid/s ate and at what time? I understand it's not asking for much but is the paperwork necessary? Maybe she's a tree-hugger.

Team anony-dad, you suck butt. Who would ask a child minder to fill this out? It's like a report card on the kids. If you wanted to know if your children were getting sick, ASK! What was the last thing my child ate? FOOD, BITCH! Fuck, how hard is it to ask the babysitter? TEAM BABYSITTER!

Its just nuts. Its an unbelievable amount of busywork after a couple weeks even, it doesn't increase efficiency by any stretch. Wanting a form for every babysitting session is some majorly OCD weirdness. But what the note writer said about writing lies is beyond weird too, I wouldn't trust her at all after that. If you can lie on paper you can lie verbally too, you know? Whats her point exactly? That she's a lying crazyperson? Filling out a form that mostly says the same thing every day is crazy.
