<p>As technology progresses, home cameras are becoming more and more commonplace. But is it okay to record people at your house without their knowledge?</p><p>A baby-sitter has <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/mz77pn/aita_for_getting_uncomfortable_about_hidden/">taken to Reddit</a> to ask if she was in the wrong for complaining to her boyfriend about the cameras she discovered in his relatives&#39; house while she was baby-sitting their child. She says she was never told about the cameras, but the baby&#39;s parents say it&#39;s within their rights to record anyone in their house.</p><h2>The baby-sitter says she has changed clothes in front of the cameras:</h2><blockquote> <p>I babysit my boyfriends 9 month old baby cousin for his aunt 3 times a week and I was never made aware of cameras around the house directly pointed at me. This makes me extremely uncomfortable because I had no clue and it&rsquo;s been weeks and now know I&rsquo;ve changed in front of the cameras and stuff.</p> </blockquote><h2>She discovered the cameras recently:</h2><blockquote> <p>Today, every time I opened the baby&rsquo;s door I heard a camera click on and I realized that I was being watched. I am 100000% okay with cameras to watch babysitters! Especially when they&rsquo;ve had a bad experience in the past. I work in childcare and babysitting and fully support checking on those watching your kids!</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>She thinks she should&#39;ve been told:</h2><blockquote> <p>But I also believe I deserve privacy OR I should at least be made aware that I am being watched. I have no clue if they&rsquo;re on, if they&rsquo;re being checked, or if there&rsquo;s more somewhere else. I brought it up to my boyfriend and his mom called the baby&rsquo;s mom(my boyfriends aunt) and apparently got mad at her.</p> </blockquote><h2>The baby&#39;s dad freaked out:</h2><blockquote> <p>The father then came home unexpectedly and absolutely ripped me a new one for telling my boyfriend I was uncomfortable. He started telling me the cameras didn&rsquo;t work, but I told him it turns on every time i walk in so I know it&rsquo;s on. then told me they don&rsquo;t even have time to check them, and then he also said it was actually so their neighbor can watch him, not them.</p> </blockquote><h2>The dad kept throwing out red flags:</h2><blockquote> <p>So I was just confused, alone in the house with his angry father who makes me extremely uncomfortable to begin with. Like he was just piling on excuses and getting mad that I had an issue with the fact that I didn&rsquo;t know. He said that&rsquo;s the point of home security but I told him that I&rsquo;m a young woman and would prefer to know when I am being watched.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>She tried to explain it to the dad but he wouldn&#39;t listen:</h2><blockquote> <p>He was so rude to me about talking to my boyfriend about how I feel.

I told the baby&rsquo;s father that as a young woman, secretly being monitored like that makes me very uncomfortable and I just would have liked to know so I was aware just in case I had to change.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>He got pissed and said that it&rsquo;s &ldquo;not about that&rdquo; and I know that but I was just telling him my concerns.
