[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I forget I love in DC. Obviously these parents are taking advantage, but in most situations older siblings babysitting younger siblings is a part of growing up. Why would a family pay a stranger to come to their home, if there are older children in the home. Looking after younger siblings is part of being a responsible teen. If your teen expects money to hang out on weekends, then they should expect to pitch in for occasional babysitting duties. Most middle class families can’t afford to pay a babysitter just so their teen won’t be sad. If it’s the occasional monthly date night out or special occasion overnight, I don’t see anything wrong with it, but the OP’s scenario is extreme.[/quote]
