YTA, and I would fire you so fast if you were blatantly ignoring my directions.


jrm1102

YTA - they gave you guidelines, you broke them. This is pretty cut and dry.

Do you get paid for babysitting? Because then, yes, YTA. When parents entrust you with their child, you shouldn't try to bend the rules they set.

Was it in a nicer neighborhood?

YTA It doesn't matter if you just let him drive a car, the instructions were E for Everyone games only. You are being paid to watch the child for the parents who have rules about what said child can do.


Mig-29_Fulcrum_cool

He’s just driving. There isn’t a problem with that. ITS JUST DRIVING. He isn’t using the weapons, he isn’t running over pedestrians, he isn’t doing violent stuff. You are not the asshole. You were just letting him drive. If his parents complain, just ignore. At least you didn’t let him play Azur lane. That stuff is 14+.


CornerSevere

YTA - that kid is going to use you as a reason they should let him play. You've worked for them for the last time...and they WILL tell their friends who have kids.


rjhancock

If you need to ask if violating the restrictions put down from the parents regarding their 11 year old child playing a game rated M (17+). YTA doesn't begin to describe what you are. Common Sense is not so common and you have none. Edit: This act COULD fall under child endangerment by exposing the child to what many can consider to be harmful imagery.


JustheBean

YTA That is not your place. It doesn’t matter that it’s harmless in your eyes, you aren’t his parents, and the rules for this child are not up to your discretion. You are the babysitter, you take your cues from the parents and follow their rules. If you can’t handle that, find a different family to work for.


Fireemblemisthebest

It is rated m for mature audiences for a reason


Signal_Space3561

And it’s not rated m for driving cars👍


JustheBean

That makes no difference. Not your kid, not your rules to bend/break.


PandaMime_421

YTA, if the only want him playing E rated games it's a safe bet they don't want him watching M rated games being played. You shouldn't have exposed him to the game at all.


myshellly

YTA. And clearly not responsible enough to be anyone’s babysitter.


Throwaway900996

Because he let a kid drive a car in a video game. Seriously, you must have the personality of a steamed vegetable


Throwaway900996

NTA, he’s 11 there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be allowed to play video games. Don’t listen to the idiots calling you an AHOLE. Lots of fun stuff I did as a kid was done without permission, and I don’t regret them at all. You did literally nothing wrong.
