I would hope that the OP asked for permission before taking the child to the movies.

I find this unlikely based on previous posts.
Excellent, make sure the kid has a parachute and give them yours to be sure. /s
I feel like there is no three-year-old, and this is just a troll thread. Otherwise the whole thing is just...weird. One side won’t stop asking and hoping that this time the rules are followed by the sitter. And the other side won’t stop breaking the aforementioned rules. So weird.
Neon Genesis Evangelion. Paired with Grave of the Fireflies.
Lol. I do agree with you that it seems thisthread would end in a never ending stalemate of opinion.
I’m babysitting her right now and just made Mac and cheese and watched the first three episodes of Pokémon.
The crazy thing is the little girl told me, upon seeing a bad guy die in the x-men cartoon, that people can’t die, only animals can die. Then I find out she didn’t know humans can die. Though she said except for old people cause they’re old. And then she said her grandma and grandpa will never die cause they’re her grandma and grandpa. Admittedly I didn’t wanna make her cry so I dropped the issue but brought it up to her dad when he picked her up and told me the topic of death still Hasn’t been fully discussed.
Yeah...no offense dude, but I wouldn't leave my kids with you. Aside from the probably unauthorized field trips, I'd be very scared you'd tell her stuff that she doesn't need to know. You don't seem to have a very good understanding of small children.
Hint: They don't ponder death at 3
Using the words provocative and edgy in the title of a thread about a 3 year old girl is also very creepy.

Your threads are absurd to the point of seeming made up. Hm...
^^This.
Yeah I'm kinda hoping this latest set of tales from the OP is just a story.
I was ready to move on before I read post #1, just from "provocative/edgy" in the thread title. Sometimes one's first impulse is the one to follow.

Not only should you not be babysitting any child, much less a 3 year old... I question the sanity of any parent who would constantly and continually put their 3 year old in your care, even without knowing all the clearly drawn lines you have crossed. What parent would regularly entrust their 3 year old daughter to the creepy guy next door? And where in the Sam Hill is the child's mother to protect her?
Dude, when you are asked to babysit this precious little girl, just say "no" the next time and the next and forever.
Just say, "It isn't appropriate."
Because it isn't.

Not that this is relevant to anything at all, or that this thread is relevant to anything at all, but I love parents like this who believe the kids are capable of understanding the adult innuendos. There are some in my family, too.
As a kid who grew up watching SpongeBob, the innuendos flew right over my head until I was older, when I'd see them again after my younger relatives started watching. They're there for the adults to get some enjoyment out of watching kids' TV.
I was thinking about Neon Genesis Evangelion and Attack on Titan but Grave of the Fireflies is good historical drama. (Actually it is and very heartbreaking but none of these for a child)
Three times a week? If the (stay-at-home?) father cannot look after his child during specific times because he's running off to do something at his church and the mother is such a hotshot businesswoman that she is probably making good money, why would they not simply hire a childcare provider on a regular basis? Relying on their neighbor and presuming he'll always be available doesn't seem like a very good solution to what is obviously going to be an ongoing situation. It seems to me that if the neighbor is deliberately and provocatively doing things to which he knows the parents will or would object, that would be the signal to not trust this guy with their daughter and to find some other solution for childcare. And by the way, why is it that this neighbor has all this free time to entertain and babysit a three-year-old, anyway?
No, lol in all seriousness I’m guessing they see my kids aren’t psycho and considering the lengths of years they’ve known me m, trust me.
I know the wife won’t even consider daycare locations since seeing a ton of Facebook videos of kids being hit by random caretakers. As for the father, he has all the time in the world but I’m confident he enjoys being alone instead of someone going through the terrible 2’s and 3’s and 4’s. These are just my guesses though. The little girl cries constantly with them but only once with me in the past month.
My hunch is the husband misses the times when he could just wake up and do whatever he wanted. The wife definitely could afford to whatever solution she wanted but I don’t know her super well to make a guess. I just know the upstairs light to her office is on till 3am at times and I know this cause I’ll be smoking some weed in my Backyard during those times as well. She’s super nice to me but her and I are not SUPER close.
I’m not abusing anyone. Showing a kid 3 year old a TVY7 cartoon is hardly abusive.
Visiting that Satanic Club meeting with her was pushing it however.
There are other solutions in addition to taking a child to an actual daycare setting. Some women work full-time as either a live-in or live-out nanny, while others may serve as a part-time child minder on a set schedule a few days or a few hours a week, whatever is needed by the family. Having a specific schedule then makes life flow more smoothly for everyone, as plans can be made for particular times or days, a routine can be developed and no need to rely on the guy next door. Among other benefits, the father would then be able to have some time to himself along with doing whatever he needs to do at the church.
Yeah, maybe they'll give you a $1500 Apple gift card for your good work...or even an invite to the September Apple event!
I agree and it’s one of the questions I hope to broach when I go over to the dinner they invited me to this weekend. A part of me gets the vibe they’re going to discuss paying me for babysitting but honestly it’s not about any money I’m seeking.

I still work for that company and it rocks. Except for some of the future creepy tech applications I’ve seen. But overall I love it there and hope to be with them for 10-30 years.
That makes no sense that if they are unhappy with some of the things you've been doing with their child that they would now decide to offer you money and become more involved in a business arrangement with you. IMHO they need to be looking elsewhere for childcare, preferably choosing a person who is trained and experienced in working with young children and who would be respectful of the parents' wishes regarding what the child may or may not do.
