I thought my biggest mom problems would be tantrums in Target and preschool wait lists. Then one afternoon, I came home early, found my three-year-old son alone in his crib, and our babysitter gone—leaving nothing but a letter with my name on it and a truth I never saw coming.
I never thought I’d be the woman posting on Reddit about her missing babysitter.But here I am.I’m 34, American, live in the suburbs, drive a minivan, and can cut dinosaur-shaped sandwiches in my sleep.My whole world is my son, Caleb.He’s three.He loves dinosaurs, peanut butter sandwiches, and making me read the same book every single night until I’m hoarse.
