They've ordered some pizza 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: for dinner, and the babysitter has been under the impression 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: that if you're babysitting and it's at dinner time, you're 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: entitled to eat. Now, wouldn't you think that was fair? 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 4: For sure? 20 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: Normally they don't do that.

I'll always invite the babysitter 24 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: to have food, or I'll say can I order you 25 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 3: something else from Uber Eats? But I don't normal normally 26 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 3: they'll say No. 27 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 4: What do they eat on their own? What they don't 28 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 4: eat with the fat dine? 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: I mean, Lizzie's nodding her head. You've done a bit 30 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: of nannying and babysitting. You don't normally eat, Lizzie, if 31 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: you're around. 32 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: There, What if you're there for hours and you need 33 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: to eat, you haven't packed a. 34 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: Lunch box or maybe have a banana from the fruit 35 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: bowl when the kids have gone to bed. 36 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 4: It's not a forty eight hours and that they have 37 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 4: at your house, is it? 38 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: You're not sitting down for the three course meal that 39 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: mum's prepared. 40 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: No, but mum's not there. Mum and dad have gone 41 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: out for the night. They're going to see post Malone 42 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: or whatever, and they've ordered a pizza and a garlic bread. Now, 43 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: this babysitter, she's thought that, well, the kids, it's not 44 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: as though she snatched the pizza from the children's hands. 45 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: The kids weren't going to eat it. So she thought 46 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: she I'll just okay, I can have two slices of 47 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: the pizza. That's not very much. Maybe I'll have one 48 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: little piece of the garlic bread and that's okay. Well, 49 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: she's in trouble and being called a bad babysitter because 50 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: mums come come home. She said, the kids were fine, 51 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: pizza was really good, kids loved it. It was really tasty. 52 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 2: And then the mums turned on the babysitter wondering why 53 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: the babysitter has been eating the kids dinners? 54 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: What if? I do think it's a. 55 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: Big deal as far as babysitters go. 56 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but Kate Ritchie, if I was the parent and 57 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: I've come home after a big night and you've been 58 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: there looking after the kids and I was excited about 59 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 3: the leftover pizza and you've eaten it, well, then I'm 60 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: going to be a little bit angry. I'm going to 61 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: take a couple of dollars off your alley. 62 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 4: Run are you talk here about? You opened up the 63 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: house to the babysitter. Whatever you want in the fringe, 64 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: it's all yours. 65 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: Do you know? The other test I throw out there 66 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: for a babysitter always say did you want a glass 67 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: of wine? If they say yes, get out. Oh my god, 68 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: you said yes, Lizzie said yes, you do the glass 69 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 3: of wine on the job. Oh my god, Well. 70 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: Maybe you don't take it when you're in front of them. 71 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: I mean there are probably babysitters. That's why we're talking 72 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: about whether you're a bad one or have had babysitters 73 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: might rock up with their own little stash of things. 74 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't stashing wine. Well, you never know what they're doing. Well, 75 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: you never know they put the kids to bed, throw 76 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: on the net, flips. I think they can get away 77 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 2: with anything. I think that if someone's had a couple 78 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: of pieces of pizza, you've got nothing to worry exactly. 79 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 3: She's called three You've had a bad nanny, have you? 80 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: I've had a bad nanny. I was recently single with 81 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: three kids twenty months apart, and my eldest was in 82 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: kindy and I had to have a nanny that was 83 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: with there. So she was a lovely Australian girl that 84 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I thought from the Northern Beaches. And second week of school, 85 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: I get a call from school saying that my son 86 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: only has a bag of chips from warning tea and 87 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: lunch and I say, oh, okay, I'll address that with 88 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the nanny, thank you for calling. And I then go 89 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: home and say something to her and she looks at 90 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: me like, oh, you're crazy.

So she 93 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: was having a good time and I wasn't. And that 94 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: night she went out again and I went into the 95 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: room to search what was going on, And there was 96 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: a huge bag of multi pack chips in there, but 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: more importantly, all my nice, all my nice crystal glasses 98 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: were in there. And she had about two or three 99 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: open bottles of wine and glasses everywhere. And I didn't 100 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: tell your colleague.
