[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 daughters 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.  [b]All that said, f[b]olks who are asking teens and college students to babysit are acting irresponsibly and irrationally[/b].[/b]  [/quote]

My boss would disagree. So would my bank, as I need my job to pay the mortgage.  Op, this is your “Let them eat cake” moment.  Frankly, it’s pretty galling that you would pat yourself on the back for attending BLM protests, but remain obstinately ignorant of the circumstances that would lead people to need babysitters during a shutdown of childcare services during a global pandemic.

Teenagers have taken care of younger children for thousands of years.  It would be irresponsible for the family not to work a job to provide food housig and clothing for their family.[/quote]
