[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just curious about how all these people suggesting the teen mom PAY for a baby sitter think she's going to get the money? She's 15, she is 4 weeks postpartum, and with all the priorities and rules everyone is suggesting, there is no room for a job. At least I don't see how this young woman can or should have a job right now.

Demanding she come up with cash seems like a ticket to hostility and illicit activities to raise said cash. Makes me think PP's don't really have a concept of what this teen's life was/is probably like.

I am not sure anyone really expects her to pay. Just that she shouldn't take for granted the OP does all the heavy lifting with the baby so the girl can go party.[/quote]

I also read most of the posts to mean that she needs to pay "in-kind" by taking on some responsibility or doing something around the house that will 'pay off' the time, not actually exchange money but still reinforce the concept that when parents want to go out they have an added cost of finding a babysitter. Which is reality for most parents and even those with family who will watch the baby occasionally generally have planned for this in some way by moving/ staying closer to family or making arrangements in advance about expectations (talking about regular adults here) so no matter what there is an element of planning and not just expectation for ALL parents and MOST also pay.[/quote]
