This happened once to my sister growing up. My mother came and picked her and the kid up and dropped the kid at the police station with the parents info and explained what was going on. The parents were PIIIIISSED.

It wasn’t approximate. It was 8. You scheduled someone for you til 8. Period. Rude.

Literally if they don't show up at the agreed upon time, that's child abandonment. I'd call the police

I had this happen a lot as a teenager. The mom was in a band and the dad was the band manager.

“As you knew, and per our prior agreement, I have to leave by 8. If you aren’t here by 8:05 I’m going to have to call the police for child abandonment”

"I cannot miss my shift at my other job. I am leaving at [Insert Time, e.g., 8:15 PM] to make it to work by 8:30 PM. Since you are refusing to come home, you need to contact a neighbor, relative, or emergency backup to come to the house immediately. If no one arrives by the time I have to leave, I will have to contact the local non-emergency line to have an officer look after the kids until you get back, as I cannot legally leave them unattended."

I was taught in childcare that you should always prepare for an emergency so should always be prepared to stay longer than scheduled. You don’t schedule something crucial like another job assignment so close after a childcare shift. So I’m kind of more on the parents’ side for this reason.

If people pulled this on my son or daughter while they were babysitting I'd have a stroke. How can you do this to someone?

this is awful but I think she handled it so well. As a parent who doesn't have help like this and struggles to find sitters my heart goes out to her. there are definitely parents out there who will appreciate all that she does as a sitter I hope she connect ls with them instead

I would’ve told them every minute after 8, that they have to pay 20 bucks. Tell the other family the situation. At 8:10 I’d have called the cops.

Either be here at 8 or the kids will be at the neighbors or I can drop them off at police station.

8:35 is just deliberate at that point and I woulda burned all bridges by 8:15

I’d respond with “If you’re not home by our agreed upon time, I’m calling the cops for abandonment.”
