My 14 yr old daughter was babysitting last night, and the parents said they would be back at 930pm at the latest. It's a school night and she needed to be up at 630am this morning, and next week is finals week. They ended up coming back at 10pm, with no text to let her know they'd be late. When they're late, I'm also kept up waiting for her. Do I say something to the parents? I don't know them but it made me quite angry.

Youre complaining about them failing to communicate while you (or your kid) are also failing to communicate your constraints. Also, NEXT week is finals week? What's happening at 630am If 30min is going to destroy her finals week.

3 小時內	iyand59 iyand59	You let your 14 year old babysit for people you don't know? That would be scary to me. Most likely they ran into a delay of some sort and couldn't help being late. Make it clear to them what them you want your daughter home.
3 小時內	Sarah Facci superfacch	These comments are wild. 30 minutes of uncertainty can feel like a really long time for a 14 year old. You don't have to cuss anyone out but a civil conversation about communication expectations is warranted here.

5 小時內	Sarah Shaw sew_creative_by_sarah	No… if she decides to babysit for them again, she needs to clarify drop dead time that she must be home. It’s a good learning experience for her to speak for herself.

5 小時內	Jackie jmac_islas	For 30 minutes, I would not say a word. If you feel that’s too late for school night then tell her she can’t babysit after 8 pm on a school night.
