A Dad has had enough of his stepdaughters taking full advantage of his daughter for babysitting duties. When they decide to sabotage a family holiday in the most spiteful manner, he gives them a piece of his mind.
A Busy Household
The man has been married to his wife for five years. They have a biological daughter named Jessica. aged 18. The man also has two stepdaughters. They’re aged 25 and 28. Both are single moms and live with them currently.
Always Want A Babysitter
There have always been issues with his stepdaughters asking Jessica to babysit their kids. There’s an element of expectancy about it, and they assume that she won’t have an issue.
Seemed Convenient
Jessica didn’t have a problem with it at first. She’s a babysitter/au pair by nature so it’s what she does to earn money anyway. It seemed quite a neat arrangement for a while.
Minimum Wage
Over time, Jessica would complain to him that her stepsisters were paying her the bare minimum and only just hitting minimum wage. She said she wouldn’t have minded if they hadn’t taken her for granted.
Not Her Problem
The Dad agrees that she shouldn’t have to babysit for such a low cost, and the situation has become all too convenient for everyone but Jessica. When she tells him she’s refusing to do it anymore, he supports her decision.
A Last Resort
They work it out so that the man’s wife, grandmother to the kids, takes care of the babysitting. The stepdaughters aren’t happy with their Mom having to miss out on things.
A Sly Suggestion
The man plans a family vacation for three days, and everyone wants to go. However, his wife thinks that a kid-free break might be nice. He’s horrified when his stepdaughters suggest to him that Jessica should stay home and watch the kids.
Can’t Afford A Proper Babysitter
When he challenges them about their suggestion, they say it’s because the kids are used to Jessica, and hiring another babysitter will cause issues. He can tell that they’re trying to come up with any excuse.
A Blatant Untruth
They won’t let it go and keep pushing the idea of Jessica babysitting to the point that the Dad is exhausted! He can’t believe it when they tell him that Jessica isn’t too ‘fond’ of the destination that they’re going to. He knows it’s a lie, and it’s obvious that Jessica wants to go.
Stop Talking About It
Still insistent, they eventually say they’ll pay her double the amount if she babysits! The conversation goes back and forth and ultimately goes nowhere. The Dad finally demands they stop bringing it up.
A Lost Passport
Due to fly out last week, when everybody had bagged their bags and it was time to go, Jessica went into a panic that she didn’t have her passport on her. They search her bag and are eventually forced to go home and search there.
Can’t Miss the Flight
His wife and stepdaughters kept insisting that they go back to the airport quickly, or they’ll miss the flight. The Dad notices that it’s only him, his wife and Jessica looking for the lost passport.
A Presumptuous Move
They both insist that Jessica stays at home with the kids. He’s shocked to hear this, and Jessica is speechless! They then say that they’ve told the new babysitter to go home as she’s no longer needed!
An Admission of Guilt
The Dad refuses to go and keeps searching for the passport. Suddenly, his stepdaughter admits that she’s helped the other stepdaughter hide Jessica’s passport so she has to stay home with the kids. The Dad is livid and tells her to say where it’s hidden. She says she doesn’t know!
He Cancels the Vacation
His other stepdaughter denies hiding the passport, so he threatens to cancel the vacation. It’s then that she decides to give it back. Horrified at her behavior, he decides actually to cancel the vacation anyway. He goes mad at them both!
Wife Blames Him
They stay upstairs for a while, and his wife refuses to speak to him. She says that he has punished his stepdaughters for simply worrying about their kids! He can’t believe the words coming out of her mouth!
A Selfish Confession
When he confronts his stepdaughters later on, they admit that they want their kids to stay with someone they know. They tell him that they sabotaged his daughter’s holiday for that very reason.
Shared Finances
In his moment of anger, he has an urge to kick his stepdaughters out of the house. They’re too old to be living there anyway, especially having kids. Unfortunately, it isn’t an option as shares the house finances with his wife.
Made to Feel Guilty
Since the event, the Dad has been told numerous times that he overreacted and ruined the trip for everybody. He’s disappointed himself, but in full support of his daughter, he knows he’d do the same thing again.
