[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- So sorry that many of you did not understand what I stated clearly -- i.e., that my daught ers have no problem telling people, "No, I can't babysit". And, yes, as I stated (in the first sentence of my post), I know that life is difficult right now for parents of young children. To those who note we are financially fortunate, yes, that's correct, and I apologize for not acknowledging this. All that said, [b]folks who are asking teens and college students to babysit are acting irresponsibly and irrationally[/b]. [/quote] Some folks would say that going out into shouting crowds to protest is also acting irresponsibly. Yet you somehow deem it an essential activity. Huh. [/quote] I don't think it is irresponsible and irrational to ask teenager to babysit so that the parents can work a job to buy the food for the family and keep the family housed and clothed.[/quote]
