Babysitter was in our bedroom

Anonymous
This would rank very low on my list of concerns. Was the door to bedroom shut? If so that’s slightly more of an issue but I still wouldn’t think it was a big deal. If you got him again I’d just ask him not to go into your bedroom. He probably was looking for a charger or wanted to see the view out the window or just was curious to see if your unit was different from his.

When I was a teen babysitter I used to peek around the house. It was just interesting. I assume some of the babysitters we have hired have done the same but it's one of those things it's better not to think about. I just wouldn't worry about this..

It's weird that someone who is so bothered by this would also let a complete stranger watch their kids.

You'll get yourself labeled as the crazy family.


Something tells me that ship has sailed long ago.

Not a thing to worry about.

I would not let a male I did not know babysit my kids. Safer to leave the 11 year old in charge

That's what I find trollish about this post. OP is completely fine with a male stranger watching her kids but freaking out that she saw him standing in the doorway of the parent's bedroom. It makes no sense.

I’d say something, and I’d lock my bedroom when I leave - with any valuables inside.
It’s unprofessional for sitter to be in there, for any reason.

Maybe they were looking out the window.

Right because this family camp has locks on the outside of bedroom doors.

I don’t think kids today are raised that adult bedrooms are private spaces. Reading about the woman in the 80s who would play in her parents bedroom because they had a waterbed astounded me because I was not allowed in my parents room or my grandparents room unless I was invited. Even today as an adult, I do not go into their bedrooms without an invitation. I always made it clear that my child was not to play in my bedroom or have friends in there, but if I was in my room, they did not need an invitation to come in. It may be a generational thing.

Wait, you were home by 11, but your 11-year-old was asleep when the sitter arrived? Were you out for 20 minutes? Can we just talk about that for a sec?

Right? An 11-year-old at "family camp" doesn't even need a sitter. Plus, they were apparently in bed by like 8 pm. This is so weird.
