[quote=Anonymous]This only applies to my parents:
When I ask you to "please keep an eye on DC while I pull dinner out of the oven" and you remain perched on the couch with your wineglass while singsonging "DC, come here, don't do that" as they crawl toward the open oven door...
When I ask you - repeatedly, for about a decade - to let me know when crazy relative is in a bad spot, and you - reoeatedly, for about a decade - don't "bc you didn't want me to worry"
When we visit and you plan a full day of brunch, visiting childfree people, happy hour, and a long boozy dinner, all so you can show off your toddler grandchild, and then wonder why they are whining and not sitting still
... Those are reasons among many others that we do not ask you to babysit.  Please don't lament the fact that we won't let DC spend the night/weekend/a single hour with you unsupervised. We're not terribly upset by this, and you shouldn't be either.  Just go to your happy hours without us, you will enjoy them much more.
