A Tarnished Reputation
Her actions were met with positive responses from the other parents in the Facebook community, where Bridget was desperately trying to scout for another helper. In response to one of her posts, another mom commented that since Marie’s actions had caused someone enough discomfort to quit a job they were paid to do, she had soiled her mother’s reputation.
According to this mom, word had gotten out in the babysitting community about her daughter’s unbearable attitude. This meant that it would prove to be quite an uphill task for Bridget to look for another caretaker.
