Help yourself to anything in the fridge 🙈

[Sundancer77]

So, I’m babysitting at a lovely villa for a lovely family for the second time.
Mum WhatsApped me when out to see if all ok and said ‘Oh I forgot to say, help yourself to anything in the fridge’
Normal stuff..I’m not really hungry, it’s all normal holiday bits in there..Halloumi cheese, dips, wine, random stuff really you can’t eat..BUT..there’s one bar of Black & Organics salted caramel dark chocolate in the fridge..with only a few neat pieces taken so far..(Mum very gorgeous, obviously health conscious, perhaps this is her treat 😬) would you take a few pieces? I robs my couldn’t stop once I start.. I’m so desperately trying not to, but it’s calling me 🙈I probably wouldn’t be that bothered if I was at home, but here? I have to have it..ffs.

I used to babysit as a teenager 1000s of years ago. I did very bad things.

The family I used to babysit for had satellite telly (when it was exotic) and I used to watch German pornos 🤣 (when the kids were asleep and tame by today’s standards!)

Scoff it! Thing is if she doesn't like it then next time you b. sit then she'll hide it! It's not expensive chocolate after all. Eat half if you feel bad but don't deny yrself. She might be glad and doing her a favour as then she won't have so much to be tempted by. Bet she's out having a hi calorie dinner! 😂

Here it’s about €5/6 🙄 So, in that respect it’s not like a crappy Bounty or something 😅

Oh go on.... it’s only a few squares. It’s not as if you’re drinking your way through their entire wine cellar!

Eurgh, they said they’d be back at 11, if they’re not soon, I’ll shove it all in my gob out of protest 🙈😁😴

I’d take her offer to mean, if you’re hungry eat some of our food... I don’t think you should eat their treats 🤭

The trick is to eat absolutely everything in the house first, finish off with the chocolate and blame it on the random tiger that called by!

Definitely eat some, or all of it. You can help yourself to anything she said. If you are getting paid for babysitting,she might well reduce your payment then.

I always say the same thing to babysitters and genuinely mean it - it's just food. If there is something I really don't want to share, I don't leave it in the fridge where my 9 year old can see it! (But rather on the highest shelf behind box of cornflour)

Well you can’t eat all of anything. That’s just inconsiderate but I doubt that anyone would care if you ate a few squares.

That's good money for sitting on your arse, i do that every night for free.

@ThighThighOfthigh Same..! I went home to my own baby who did not sleep all night and I’m currently exhausted..should’ve eaten the whole bar 🙄😁

She can't be the sort of person to enjoy 'two squares of quality chocolate a day', if she was she would have decent chocolate not Mondelez crap.

Be awful if that was the last bit of chocolate she had to see her through the holiday though. If she likes G and B enough to bring it with her she really loves it..........

Never, ever, ever take another woman's chocolate.

I remember a mum telling me that once she had said help yourself to anything in the fridge and the babysitter had helped herself to an entire Roast Chicken!!

I think I would message back..what even the G+B ?

Where are you babysitting for that money???

@ssd Millionaires playground-it’s the going rate, hence why I can’t say no even though I feel about 14 years old still ‘Babysitting’ 😆

I'm 36. I still babysit for a family I've been sitting for for over 10 years. After my children were born I stopped with all other families, but kept this one on. They're lovely, kids are always in their rooms/in bed when I'm there and it's an easy £30. Plus their youngest is a month older than my eldest so they regularly have a clothes sort out and hand down their Boden clothes to us. We've become friends though and will sit and chat when they get home.

But I wouldn't eat their chocolate in the fridge.
