‘She fed my baby chocolate milk’

A babysitter: very handy if you have to leave the house in a hurry, but if it turns out that the babysitter could have used some extra training, you will have nightmares for weeks. Read and horror along.

Nicky (39): “Our Joey was six weeks old when I had to go to the gynecologist urgently. Something was wrong with my cesarean section. My maternity nurse once told me that her seventeen-year-old sister Denise was such a good babysitter, so I hired her.

“She cheerfully said that she had fed him chocolate milk because she was curious if he liked it”

When I got home, Joey was crying terribly and his shawl was covered in brown stains. Denise cheerfully said that she had fed him chocolate milk because she wondered if he liked it. Joey has had cramps for a long time. The doctor said his intestines couldn’t tolerate the fat. He was covered in pimples and was only allowed to drink rice water. So sad.”

Among the big boys

Inge (39): “With peace of mind, Mark and I left our eight and four-year-old daughters with Samantha, the sixteen-year-old daughter of friends. The next morning our eldest told a bizarre story.

“I had nightmares about it for weeks”

That evening Samantha had gone to get cigarettes and taken Marit to the snack bar in pajamas. She had left her toddler sister at home. Marit thought it was strange herself, because she was ‘between the big boys’. We never really got mad at Samantha, but at ourselves. Sixteen is simply too young to handle such a responsibility. I had nightmares about it for weeks.”
