[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like she doesn’t want the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. Perhaps she is worried about what might happen if something goes wrong or everyone starts fighting or if they misbehave. She doesn’t want all that to fall on her. Can you get her to articulate what’s at the heart of why she doesn’t want to do this without adult support? Can you talk with her just to listen without judgment and without trying to litigate your point? Listen hard so you can paraphrase back to her what she said. Let her know that you value her perspective. It might not sound rationalize or be what you’d say, but it’s her perspective. [/quote] This. If therr is no nanny then the 15 year old is responsible for her siblings and is not having a relaxing summer st home. Hire the nanny or pay your kid. [/quote]
