[quote=Anonymous]Our neighbors needed a last minute sitter for two hours on a district-wide half-day, and our 15.5yo was asked and agreed. The kids in question are tweens and needed a sitter because they don’t get along, but teen was told they would likely hide up in their rooms. Teen went, said they got along, didn’t really bother her, and of story. Or so we thought. Neighbor contacted me to tell me that our teen didn’t talk or do anything with the kids while she was there. I was sort of caught off guard in that moment, wondering, what did you expect from her? I didn’t know how to respond so I didn’t answer just let her talk, but now I’m wondering, do parents expect activity coordinators nowadays? When I was a teen and babysat, the kids played and I supervised, marveled at whatever they showed me, offered snacks, cleaned up behind them, and went home. Just curious! [/quote]
