Internet slams couple refusing to pay son’s biological mom to babysit

Online commenters have criticized a couple for asking their son’s biological mom to babysit but refusing to pay her.

Posting in Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole” (AITA) forum under the username u/CurrentMaize07, the biological mother said the couple refuses to pay her because they view her watching their son as “parenting” not “babysitting.”

In her post, the woman said she donated her eggs three years ago to her friends, “V” and “M.”

“[V and M] used to say I’d be the coolest godmother/aunt to the baby and we’d [all] be a big happy family,” she said.

After the baby was born, however, V and M told u/CurrentMaize07 that she couldn’t meet the baby until he was “at least two years old.” Apparently, they feared her presence in their son’s life would “hamper their bonding” with him. So, she waited.

Last week, she finally met her son at his second birthday party, but V and M made sure they didn’t bond “too much.”
