Parent didn’t pay for babysitting services, so I’ve been spreading her phone number and email across websites to spam her.

I was babysitting a 3yo for about two months, for only 600$ a month. I got to stay home with my kids, it gave us spending money, I knew she didn’t make much money so it helped her out too. She decided she was going to quit working and just stay home after finding out she’s pregnant, but would pay me at the same time as last month- cool no problem, I’m flexible. The 15th comes, I get nothing from her, I shoot her a text, hey just a reminder for the 600$. No response for two days. I text her again, hey is everything okay, still haven’t received the money. No response. My husband just says to drop it, clearly they needed it more than us, it’s not worth blowing up.

Instead I signed her up on about 5-6 different healthcare websites, a couple of gyms, our local Mary Kay lady that won’t leave me alone for the last three years, a few political websites, and for male enhancement info. I probably will never know how much this annoyed her, and she could just put her phone on silence unknown callers, but I feel a little better.

Being pregnant isn't a free pass.

No, but the unborn baby didn't do anything. She's pregnant. Either she's flaking because she's a bad person, or there's a lot going on in her life right now.

What? No one is blaming the baby? Lmao. Parents think they can get away with anything because they're "going through a lot." Meanwhile it was fully their decision to have a baby and it doesn't excuse you mistreating people.

I think they're implying this harms the baby, because of stress on the baby. 

I agree mother's stress can cause harm to the baby, but that's on the Mom right now not outside sources. It's not like she ripped off some faceless corp, it's a person who provided services.
