9 Stories That Prove Babysitting Can Be the Scariest Job on the Planet

2. Seriously, Tell Your Kids ‘No’

Redditor Dearestbrittany knows the real truth about demonic kids: they come from terrible parents. When working for a family in the mornings, the full-time nanny was informed that she wasn’t allowed to tell the kids, “no.” Ever. So, what happens when a 3-year-old who’s still in diapers doesn’t feel like getting changed? He runs to his mom and gets praised for throwing a tantrum. What happens when a 5-year-old is told to get dressed? He and mommy take a fully-clothed shower together to get him to calm down. See? Crazy doesn’t just pop up all on its own.
