[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre teen should be allowed to do her own thing, read a book etc. and the parents parent the 3 year old. [/quote] I don’t agree with reading a book. That shuts the preteen out of any possible social interactions. If they’re in the house they can watch a funny movie, play simple board games, the preteen can teach the three year old tricks. Outdoors they shouldn’t have a problem, eat at an outdoor shack type restaurant, walk around. Plenty of families have siblings with age gaps and they make it work. [/quote] I don't agree with making someone else's child babysit my child. Let the preteen do whatever she wants. She definitely doesn't want to hang out with a preschooler and probably also doesn't care about hanging out with her parents' friends. You can see your friends without forcing their child to watch your child and calling it "spending time together as a family."[/quote]
