Hope the babysitter and kid were okay
One of the hardest things to turn down is a job. It’s not like our parents can always give us money whenever we need it, right? Well, that’s sort of what the OP’s mother was experiencing so many years ago. She was offered another babysitting gig for a kid that she’s watched over multiple times.
However, something deep in the pit of her stomach was holding her back. The child’s parents pleaded for her to come over to babysit, but she absolutely wouldn’t take the job. So, the parents found another babysitter to come over. That night, someone broke into that home and attacked the babysitter.
