I just spent 10 days in beautiful Northern Michigan with my family. I did a good amount of fishing, biking, swimming and boating while I was there but my favorite day was spent in the Traverse City area on a wine tour. My wife and I visited 3 michigan wineries and really enjoyed the experience. This photo was taken at our last stop, L. Mawby Winery, where we had some delicious Sex -Hence the grin in the picture. All in all a fantastic vacation, very relaxing but full of activities.
We have two dogs and while we were away we employed our baby-sitter to house/dog sit. Prior to allowing her to do this, I spoke to her mother to make sure she was okay with this. Her mom seemed really involved and asked a lot of good questions about us and our home/neighborhood, to ensure her daughter would be safe. Last night when we arrived back, our dogs looked healthy and happy and the house looked in good order. Then upon closer inspection, we noticed that the house was really pretty grimy. We keep a very clean house and it's easy to tell when something is askew. There were shoe-prints everywhere and the white bath mat in our guest bathroom was dark grey from all the traffic. Also in the guest bathroom was a toilet full of projectile vomit. It was even on the bathroom walls. -Someone got really sick.
We went to water our plants and in one of the plant boxes was a bag of pot. -Not much, but unmistakably pot. I also found a red plastic cup downstairs with remnants of what smelled like Pina Colada.
Let me preface my question with this: I wouldn't have been the kind of kid that would have thrown a party at the house I'm watching. I would have been the kind of kid that had 2 friends over, smoked pot and had my girlfriend sleep over. But the owners would have never known because there wouldn't be vomit and grimy floors as evidence. I fully expect that when I let a 17 year old watch my home, she is probably going to have her boyfriend over. I'm a little pissed though because the house is gross. Really gross. There was a glass of booze in my daughters room. They partied in my daughters room. I'm pissed.
Questions are: Would you call her mother and let her know what you've found? Would you still pay her for watching the dogs even though you've now got to clean your house after her party?
The only reason I consider letting her mother know is because I am now a father and when my daughter is 17, I would be upset if the family employing her didn't let me know. I feel I have an obligation to her parents.
What do you guys think?
Also, its great being back. I missed you Hubski. As you can see from the photo, you all were with me, even when I was having Sex at the winery.
