[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s age and gender. I would hire a teenage boy to watch my boys (8 and 5) but 14 is too young for me to feel comfortable leaving from 6pm-midnight, which would be a typical night out. [/quote] But an 8 yr old would be in bed by 8:30 and the 5 yr old by 8 at the latest. So a babysitter would only actively be with them for 2.5 hours. Figure one of those hours is used up eating dinner together and getting ready for bed/teeth brushing/reading books so they're only playing for an hour and a half. What's wrong with you that you don't trust a 14 yr old to safely play with two elementary school kids for an hour and a half?[/quote]
