Nothing good really happens at 2 a.m., does it?
Well, for one Redditor this couldnt be more true.
I dont know about you, but Id probably be hiding under the covers at this point.
At least not yet.
Can you imagine waking up to someone screaming at full volume?
The kid was banging like her life depended on it.
Now, if youre the OP, youre thinking, Could it be a fire?
Honestly, who wouldnt panic in that situation?
I know I would.
Thepoliceheard the childs screams through the phone, so they sped over like superheroes.
But, it turns out the kid was home alone and just having a nightmare.
But not before interrogating the OP about the whole situation.
The next morning, the OP was in for a rude awakening once again.
Her flatmate was back and was not pleased.
Imagine a furiousmotherbanging on your door at sunrise, accusing you of blowing things out of proportion.
But the OP didnt feel responsible for anything and she let Mom know exactly how she felt.
She didnt sign up to be a nanny and she didnt even know the mom was not at home.
What if it was an emergency beyond a nightmare?
Just ask the OP, she knows this all too well.
In a shared house, a bit of support wouldnt have hurt her, especially with a kid around.
But was it fair to expect OP to jump in, especially since the little girl wasnt her responsibility?
She was just a resident in the same house, not a paid nanny.
Living in harmony withhousematespretty much comes down to solid communication and clear expectations.
In our story, the OP had no idea the kid was home alone.
Plus, the mom never asked her to keep an eye on her daughter while she was at work.
