Work boundaries exist for a reason, and the workplace is not a free babysitter.

What would you do if a coworker brought their kids to work when them? Would you be willing to keep an eye on them like a free babysitter, or would you make it very clear that the parent is the one who needs to keep an eye on the kids?

This man noticed a full-time employee had left his young kids unattended.

AITA…not letting company employee leave there kids with me without asking?

I’m a contractor that works for a large company.

This company has an employee whose kids are on Spring Break (ages 7 and 10).

He brings them into the warehouse and leaves them in a back room.

This person noticed the employee leaving without his kids.

As I’m sitting at my desk, I look thru the windows.

I see him getting in his car and leaving without his kids.

He does not say anything to me but expects me to be responsible and watch them.

He came back and got the kids, but looked annoyed.

I immediately call him and tell him to take them with you or I call DCFS.

He turns around, comes back, and gets them, but he gives me a dirty look.

So, AITA?

That dad sounds pretty irresponsible.

People are calling out the employee.

Here’s another valid point.

And finally, short and simple.

Having a coworker in the office doesn’t mean having free childcare.
