How would you feel if someone unknown stayed in your home with your babysitter?

I had a family member (21) watch my children, in my home. While I was out, her and her mom decided it was OK to allow a friend of hers to come over. I have met this person one time,but do not know her personally nor have I had any as well as the said babysitter or my children had any interaction in the last two years. My children let me know that she was having a sleepover in my home that night, and I only found this out b/c I told my daughter to ask babysitter to allow her to sleep with her since she was scared. This of course is what caused my daughter to be scared. How would you feel and treat this manner. Both mom and daughter feel all was fine and b/c she is family to them- naturally she should be family to us, I don't agree and I feel I was greatly disrespected.Any more arguments or suggestions- no matter the side.

    They should have told you. You should find a new babysitter. That's just rude.

    you should have made it clear that no visitors were permitted while you were gone . that is standard practice to inform any sitter if this is your rule . most sitters know this and will ask permission before they take the job . and it does not sound like they came to your house together so that you would have the chance to say no . all in all it probably was no big deal but they should have asked . i doubt that they ment to disrespect you -they just didn't think and thought that you wouldn't mind . now they know you do and i am sure they are sorry . my advice is to just let it go . they know you are not pleased about what they did . all of you have learned a lesson so leave it at that .

    She should have asked you first. You don't bring someone into someone else's home without their permission, especially around children. I'm sure it was harmless, but yeah, it's not really okay.
