A Reddit user shared a distressing incident involving their trusted babysitter, Daisy, who was unexpectedly dismissed after dialing 911 in response to a medical emergency concerning their youngest son. The couple had relied on Daisy’s care for years, appreciating her dedication to their children. However, during her recent babysitting stint, Daisy encountered their youngest son’s breath-holding spell, a condition she was unaware of due to a lack of communication from OP’s mother, who cared for the children earlier. Concerned for the child’s well-being, Daisy called emergency services, prompting an ambulance dispatch. Upon learning of the incident, OP’s wife berated Daisy, accusing her of costing them money and promptly firing her. The disagreement escalated, leading to hurtful exchanges between the couple and the wife’s temporary departure. Reddit users overwhelmingly criticized the wife’s response, asserting that Daisy acted appropriately given the circumstances. Some shared personal experiences highlighting the importance of prompt action during emergencies, emphasizing the potential consequences of delayed medical intervention. The incident underscored a significant divide in perspectives regarding the appropriate course of action during emergencies and the handling of childcare arrangements.
