For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The only sort of people who would accept this deal are the ones you don’t want near your children.

I read that a few times thinking they meant the rent was normally that amount and the live in baby sitter wouldn't have to pay it. That would count as their pay. Still a stupid idea but... Yeah as it's wrote, wtf?!

Its for church, honey. Next!

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Omg, they were roommates with the children!

Update: the kids and babysitter are gone and the rent for the room is late. Cops wont even foot the internet bill, I cant believe I let them be the ones to investigate this

In my area, they call it "wife."

Certainly people are chomping at the bit for such a position!

"Pay us to live in our house, bathe with us, and watch our kids."

Yeah, that tracks for Lakewood.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you nearby? Where is this? Is it like a trashy city?

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lakewood is a city that only exists because Tacoma banned the filming of Cops, and so Lakewood split off to continue getting money from the production company.

Hey now. It also exists to provide off-base housing for young soldiers with 20% APR car loans.

Someone needs to report these people to social services. They’re going to end up with some criminal taking an interest in this ad, at best. Who wants that job, if they aren’t family or close friends with the person posting it? Probably some child predator, unfortunately. I wouldn’t be surprised if people like this left their kids at home alone, after not finding a babysitter. I can’t stand people like that.

Isn't there a choosybeggers on Lemmy?

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a !beggingchoosers somewhere? lol

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Expound on this "shared shower".

[–] Tebbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This is called trying to get rid of your kids and TV in one night with no work on your part. Sadly it comes with jail time.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't even do this even if there was a lambo given as compensation. This sounds absolutely terrible.

[–] Powdermilkman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I had to double take thinking this must be a local sub. I'm in South Tacoma so I know that area well lol.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Then this guy shows up.
