Mother splits TikTok over worries that babysitter fell asleep on the job Unsplash.com: No Revisions \/ TikTok: danimariemitA mother\u2019s story on TikTok is dividing the internet after she claims she came home early from a date to find her babysitter sleeping on the job \u2014 and opinions about her reaction are mixed. TikTok is one of the biggest social media platforms on the net right now\u2026and as such, it\u2019s also one of the top platforms people visit for an unbiased opinion from the internet. TikTok is rife with people asking for other folks\u2019 takes on the situations happening in their own lives (although sometimes this happens whether they asked or not). The latest debate taking over TikTok comes from working mom Danielle Mitchell, who says she had to return home early from a date night with her hubby after she worried her babysitter had fallen asleep while watching her 10-month-old son. According to Mitchell, she and her husband were only out of the house from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. During that time, she checked the cameras in her house to see that the sitter she\u2019d hired was laying on the sofa, presumably asleep. When the sitter failed to answer a text asking to bring the dog inside, the Mitchells ended their date night early and returned home to find that she had, indeed, taken some z\u2019s. \u201cNow, I don\u2019t know what to think,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cIs it normal for your babysitter to fall asleep when they\u2019re watching your kids?\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load. Users are decidedly split on the subject. Although many claim it\u2019s totally normal and acceptable for sitters to take a cat nap if the kiddos are asleep too, others say they would \u201cnever\u201d sleep on the job, no matter what. \u201cDad of 5 here,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cUnless your child has some at-risk medical condition, it\u2019s fine for the babysitter to sleep. IMO.\u201d \u201cDefinitely a first time parent overreaction, and that\u2019s ok,\u201d another said. \u201cHe was asleep and safe. We all take a bit to wake up when asleep, even as parents.\u201d \u201cUsed to babysit a lot as a teenager,\u201d another commenter argued. \u201cI would NEVER sleep at someone\u2019s house while on the job. And that\u2019s even when the kids are older.\u201d \u201cAs an experienced baby sitter, unless you\u2019re staying the night, then definitely don\u2019t fall asleep,\u201d another sitter said. \u201cEspecially if you\u2019re only there till 9.30.\u201d In a follow up video, Danielle responded to concerns that she hadn\u2019t made her sitter aware of the cameras in her home, showing that they were placed well within plain sight.

In another video, she reacted to a comment asking if she also sleeps while watching her child, saying: \u201cFirst of all, I am his mother, so I am a little more attuned to him than a random person. So, if he wakes up and starts crying, I am literally up in a split second. And second, I am not getting paid, but I am paying the babysitter.\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load. It seems like opinions on the babysitter\u2019s actions are still split on this topic, in stark contrast to TikTok\u2019s reaction to a party of 91 that showed up at a restaurant without a reservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
