This list parents left for a babysitter starts off strange and just gets weirder

Babysitting (when you have well behaved kids at least) is almost too good to be true. Getting paid to watch TV and eat free food all night really doesn't set anyone up for a realistic idea of the world of work.

One babysitter, however, had a very strange experience and it surprisingly wasn't the children's fault.

Malik Brazile's girlfriend was taking care of some kids when she texted him the weird list of instructions she had received from the parents.

The instructions read:

1. I encourage the kids to watch as much TV as possible, so they will leave me the hell alone. Feel free to do the same.

2. Don’t waste your valuable time cooking or providing health snacks. Just give them the pizza and snacks I leave.

3. They do still breastfeed on demand. Just download a video on YouTube. It’s not hard otherwise I would not do it

4. Do not take any kittens/candy/puppies from David. Or take a ride in his van.

5. If any of my neighbours come to the door, treat them like Jehovah’s Witnesses. Don’t lend them any eggs/milk/cigarettes. They know where the store is. And no, you don’t want to babysit for them.

6. Let the kids have as much sugar as they want to, as long as they will go away. They take pills to sleep anyway.

7. If you have any boys over just make sure they have an uncle/dad/brother/friend that I can call later.

8. Don't answer the house phone unless you feel like paying bills.

9. If you look through my drawers, please throw away any overdue bills and gum wrappers.

10. Do not believe anything the kids tell you

Here's the list:
