[quote=Anonymous]OP, we are distancing carefully but I agree with the feedback here. Other families are not. These are teenagers receiving requests. What did your daughters say before when they already had plans on Saturday but a parent texted them asking if they were available? Or if someone wanted to know if they were looking for a regular gig and they were too busy with school? If they couldn't handle those situations on their own, and cannot handle current requests on their own, the problem is with you and them, not other families. Here's a hint: "I'm sorry but I'm not babysitting this summer. Take care!" will suffice in pretty much every situation. If the parent repeats their request, your teens can repeat what they wrote, or ignore. Done.[/quote]
