[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Babysitting on weekends interferes with social life. 13 year olds start to want to have weekend plans. It is a slippery slope and parents who use older kids are in fact using them. I do not buy anyone being happy to put this on kids.[/quote] It’s fine occasionally. OP didn’t say she was doing this every Sat night. It would be wrong if she forced her oldest to miss a very important event or stay home every weekend to watch siblings but nothing wrong with it every now and then. We go out to dinner or out with other couples sometimes and leave ours together. [/quote] +1 Just another family/chore obligation. It shouldn't be the default for every event or weekend, but totally fine to do it. [/quote]
