The dad probably came to Reddit to receive some sympathy and reassurance that he had a right to demand compensation. However, people in the comments were not that forgiving.
While redditors agree that the babysitter shouldn’t have left a 3-year-old by herself, they say it would be unfair to ask such an amount from a 19-year-old trying to earn money by watching other people’s children. According to the comment section, the blame here is to be shared and not put just on one person.
But still, the guy is going too far asking for the whole guitar to be replaced. That's some petty stuff right there. Just be happy your kid is okay, don't pay the babysitter for that 3 hours and go on with your life. Should have had your expensive things in a place your kid can't get to anyways.
whereas a contractor was.....
that said
just add the 2200 to the cost of having a child which is now what ?....500,000?
as devils' advocate

Nah...you put important and valuable things away when you have animals and small children. He's not a victim. The babysitter is the victim because he's trying to get a teenager to pay him over 2 grand for his own negligence.
