Coming Out of the..
A wife was left shocked when she came home one day and found her children’s nanny wet after stepping out of the shower. What was even more surprising was that her husband was there and he sided with the nanny when his wife showed concern! I CAUGHT MY KIDS’ BABYSITTER DOING THIS WHILE I WASN’T HOME! Okay, here’s the backstory, my hubby and I hired a babysitter for our three children as we’re both slammed with work all the time. Everything had been fine until yesterday… I walked in at 6 p.m., and there she was with her hair all wet! She said she had to shower because my kiddo spilled milk on her. The babysitter was hired and is paid by me to look after mine and my husband’s children, all under six. She tried reassuring me by saying the children were fine while she showered quickly because they were napping. “I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you to shower in my home though,” I replied in frustration. The 23-year-old brushed my concerns aside and argued that it wasn’t a big deal. As we went back and forth on the matter, my husband suddenly appeared in the living room! I was more confused that my husband was home and on top of that he sided with the babysitter, but I insisted that I was uncomfortable with what happened. My feelings were dismissed by both parties and the babysitter left to go home.
But here’s where it gets totally weird – my husband, who’s supposed to be at work at that time doing the night shift, is right there at home! My gut told me something totally wrong occurred and I just couldn’t stop thinking that they were having an affair. So, the next day, before leaving for work, I decided to dig out and turn on the dusty old nanny camera that I’d been using when my children were babies. I secretly set it up in the living room before I headed to work. The day started like any other, with the usual morning rush of getting the children ready, making breakfast, and kissing my husband goodbye as I left first for work with the babysitter passing me at the entrance. Or so I thought. Little did I know, my world was about to turn upside down! Not even an hour later, I checked the camera and saw MY HUSBAND, who’d left for work, walking in the door. My heart just dropped when he approached our nanny. Tears blurred my vision as I watched, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding on the small screen of my phone. In a daze, I told my boss I felt sick and needed to go home, though the sickness I felt was one of betrayal and heartache. Rushing home, driven by a mix of dread and a desperate need for answers, I expected the worst. Yet, what I found was my husband at the cooker, preparing food. The sight left me dumbfounded. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to reconcile the images from the nanny camera with the man standing before me. Was I cheated on or WHAT?! My husband, sensing my distress, turned to me with a look of worry. “Why are you home so early?” he asked. I told him they let me go home early because of a power outage that brought the systems down. He seemed to accept my story before saying, “Honey, I have to tell you something,” his voice heavy with guilt. The confession that followed was one I could never have anticipated. He admitted to being afraid to tell me the truth that a week ago he was fired due to downsizing at work. My spouse said he hadn’t wanted to bother me with it and decided to pretend that he was going to work. Instead, he would return home, look for jobs online, and help with taking care of the children, adding: “Yesterday indeed our daughter spilled milk on our nanny so I told her to go and wash everything while I was there to take care of the kids who were napping.” The incident with the babysitter? “A simple accident,” he explained, that he had handled so I wouldn’t have to worry.
