[quote=Anonymous]My older neighbor just approached me. I have no doubt she meant well and was just making conversation sans filter, but she told me that another neighbor on our small block, asked her if she knew of any good high-school aged babysitters, apparently they are looking for an occasional evening sitter or daytime helper for their 5yo. She said she immediately mentioned DD13/8th-rising 9th, and how she’s very mature and sweet with her grandkids. The neighbor told her no, they are looking for someone more mature, in high school. My neighbor told me I should introduce DD, maybe they will change their mind.

I’m sort of offended on DD’s behalf. In a month she will be a high schooler, and in a month from that, 14. I mean, some sophomores start the year at 14. She’s a neighbor recommended by another neighbor who has seen her interact with young kids. Now I’m irrationally angry at these neighbors and even though I know it’s not warranted, I can’t help it! How would you feel? [/quote]
