If your babysitter has to travel in an uber with your kids, would you pay for the uber?

| If a babysitter is having wisdom teeth removed at noon but will have to pick up kids at camp by uber because she shouldn't drive after anesthetic/ medications, would you as the parent pay for the uber to and from the kids school? Just want to get an idea of what's normal. |

| I'd give her he freaking day off! Are you nuts! Make other arrangements for your kids! |

| After wisdom teeth removal, she needs to take the rest of the day off. She might have a sudden bleed and should not be exerting herself. |

| Agree. She can't sit for your kids post surgery. She will be out of it. |

+1. She should have the day off and if for some strange reason she was working of course you pay for the Uber. But really, she will not be able to work after this- even if they are just pulling the teeth and not cutting them out. She will be on pain pills! |

The idea that you would nickel and dime things so much that one uber ride is a crowd-sourcing necessity for you is shocking to me.
If she is having wisdom teeth removed she should be laying on a couch with cold compresses on her cheek staring numbly at a television. Not babysitting. So if she's willing to do that, damn straight you can cough up the money for an Uber. How freaking cheap can you get?! |

| Legally they won't let her leave the surgery unless there is someone to take care of HER, and that means a responsible adult. |

of course!!! I would not want someone who'd had anesthesia for wisdom teeth watching my kids either. Give her the day off!

Oh bullshit. My coworker had all FOUR wisdom teeth taken out one morning recently, and she just walked right out and came to work. She is in her mid 20's. Plus, you DO know adults can sign out of a hospital AMA, right? And this isn't even a hospital. |

| Are you kidding? I'm far from a helicopter but I was so out of it after wisdom tooth surgery I don't remember going home or getting into my bed. |

Note the fainting precaution and the direction not to engage in physical activity for 48 hours. |

So the surgery BEGINS at noon, and you are expecting her to pick up your kids by 3? And your only concern is whether SHE SHOULD PAY FOR HER UBER? Wow.
Please give us all the number of this babysitter because she sounds amazingly conscientious, and I would hire her in a second and treat her better than you do. |
