[quote=Anonymous]No one I know, including myself, wanted a 13 year old as a babysitter. It's not an attack on your kid, and NO, a few minutes worth of observing them with younger kids is NOT reason to hire them. I have a teen DD who just turned 14 and will be in high school next year. I do not expect anyone to be interesting in babysitting services from her, even though she's mature and responsible *for her age*. I know, I have older kids who weren't as mature at the same age! :-) If the other neighbor was talking to you directly, she would probably have couched her refusal in more diplomatic terms. The older neighbor is trying to help and doesn't realize norms have changed. She should not have reported this interaction to you, but then again, she's old and doesn't seem very bright. Calm down and let it go. [/quote]
