This happened many years ago when I was 15 or 16 but it came up last night as my dd who is now 15 has got her 1st babysitting job.
When I was 15ish I had a job babysitting for a family on Saturday night maybe once or twice a month. Nice people, paid well.
One night around 1am a drunk man, mid-20s turned up. The older child was awake and confirmed it was her uncle. I let him in, he mumbled something about me leaving if I wanted to but went to the spare room and fell asleep so I waited for the couple and was dropped home. They weren't expecting him but were fine with it.
A few weeks later he turned up again, much more sober. He said they knew he was there and told me I might as well go home. It was maybe 12.30 or 1. It was before mobile phones and at the time we didn't have a phone at home (or a car so no one to collect me). My options were either a 15 min walk through a old graveyard, sports field and unlit park or a longer walk maybe 25 minutes through a rough town centre and then some quiet little streets home. I said no, I'd wait. He tried a bit to persuade me but I stayed and the couple came home eventually and dropped me as per our arrangement.
Dd had said she wouldn't feel able to say no when an adult said she should leave. We are trying to help her build up her confidence for things like this.
Obviously it's different now. She has a phone so could ring me to collect her so not an issue.
In the end I gave up the job because it was awkward when he occasionally turned up. The couple were fine with me waiting for them but it ruined a good job for me.
Do you think you would have stayed or gone?
What about your dc? Any tips on increasing dad's confidence? I think lockdown etc. has restricted her in many ways so not as mature as she could be.
