Summary
A woman said she would not let her boyfriend’s two friends babysit her nieces, even if that meant canceling a dinner plan.
Her refusal triggered an argument after the boyfriend said his friends were trustworthy, while she said the children were too vulnerable to “gamble on.”
She drew a hard line on childcare, saying she would leave the girls only with her mother and otherwise stay home.
Reddit reactions largely backed her right to set safety boundaries, though some said trusting only 1 person could reflect anxiety and make future childcare difficult.
