10 holding the baby
To be left holding the baby означает «быть оставленным с младенцем на руках», т. е. быть вынужденным выполнять неприятную и нежелательную обязанность. В прошлом мать нежеланного ребёнка иногда избавлялась от него, попросив какого-нибудь богатого и доброго на вид человека подержать младенца минутку, пока она якобы сходит по делам. Потом она исчезала в надежде, что жертва её обмана сжалится над ребёнком и даст ему дом и лучшую жизнь.The boss wrote a provocative letter and then went on leave. I had to deal with all the complaints. I was left holding the baby. — Начальник написал провокационное письмо и ушёл в отпуск. Я должен был заниматься жалобами. На меня взвалили тяжёлую обязанность.
