[quote=Anonymous]Teens don't need childcare. I've been leaving my child to "fend for herself" since she was 12. At 14, she makes her own plans with friends. I know where she is, but the rest is up to her. I wouldn't leave her at a jump place because she's an introvert and would be overloaded, and also because it's a dangerous activity. If she spends 5 hours at the mall, I don't think of the store staff as her babysitters. She's on her own. They have to learn to navigate the world without a parent. If she's not independent before she's 18, I have done a shitty job as a parent. [/quote]
