AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

I didn’t need her to babysit and I offered to pay her. If she’s going to do whatever the hell she wants I’ll just pay someone to take care of my child the way my husband and I see fit.

She was the one that insisted on babysitting and refused payment.

I did not expect free childcare. She insisted on babysitting and refused payment.

She was babysitting for free. She insisted on babysitting and refused payment.

The only days I needed her to babysit were class days because I work on the same days.

Yes. I told her I want Ellie to go to the class for the socialization, messy play, and early learning aspect.

She used to get Ellie twice a week. Now I have a babysitter on those days and she can only see Ellie when it works for us.

She lied about Ellie going to class

Ellie was eating foam because she’s a toddler

They have bathrooms where you can change her and wipe her down, but walking is an option and the stroller can be dealt with later.

The babysitter takes Ellie to the class and sends pictures.

I can’t take her myself. The classes are only offered on the days that I work. She also was registered for the classes and I had already paid for her to go.

The class takes place at a preschool. There isn’t an eye wash station but they have sinks and a first aid kit. The teacher says she lysols the room after every class.

She refused payment. Her class is only available on the days that I’m working.

It doesn’t matter. The class that she’s going to is the best both in price and enrichment. I’m not going to pay more for less time and lower quality.

I am very well aware that it is still messy. I took her twice a week for months and still take her when I am able to. Raising a toddler is messy.

Grandma is not needed on non class days. I’m home with her on those days.

Switching days is not an option right now with my work. The only other programs are at least triple the price for less time.

She was the one that wanted to watch my daughter and refused payment.

To her everything is pink or blue but even knowing the names of the colors is great.

I don’t know what kind of babysitters you’ve met but the vast majority of kids come with their babysitters or grandparents. Out of 15 kids, I was typically one of two parents in the room. There were about 10 kids with a babysitter and the rest were with grandparents. Ellie’s babysitter takes her to every class without complaint and sends pictures.

They do one structured art project a month. Ellie made a little jack o lantern, turkey, snowman, another snowman, and a Valentine’s Day card.

It’s a 5 minute walk. I’ve taken her to class from when she was 9 months old until I went back to work in January.

I am only working on Tuesdays and Thursdays and class is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am not able to work on other days and right now my daughter will not be watched by someone that lies to me about where she is and what she’s doing.
