Babysitters of Reddit. What were the weirdest rules parents asked you to follow?

I was told that the only thing she specifically wasn't allowed to do was eat a bowl of sugar.

I mean, babysitter or not, this is just good advice.

I wouldn't want to be the person consuming 150% daily value of the sugar intake.

I had to change the kid's cloth diaper every two hours on the dot.

The kid was six.

I assumed it was for some sort of disability or something, but no.

His parents just didn't want to potty train him, and the kid was content with being

babyed.

I remember just making the kid put his own diaper on and encouraged him to use the bathroom if he had to go.

I never went back.

I had to put the kids to sleep with the CD player going.

That wasn't the weird part.

It was a recording of their parents basically going,

Molly, you are wonderful.

You are a star.

You're going to shine bright.

That isn't super weird, but it was like several hours long, and apparently they listened to it

every night.

Yes.

I have someone watching my turtle while I'm on vacation over Christmas.

As a joke, I printed out the daily affirmations.
