[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry you are frustrated, but I too have left a toddler with my 9 year old for a quick errand.  My 9 year old had a phone to call me at any minute and she's mature for her age.  Prayers to you![/quote]

Presumably you know how your 9 yo was raised though, you know her values, the types of things you've taught her over the years, the types of things she's likely to be able to handle. Now substitute with a 12 yo who you didn't raise and don't know well. Not sure that even most parents (IRL, not on DCUM) would make that decision, let alone the majority of them.

And no, even the dimmest haters could not possibly argue that a parent who sees his kid once every week or two has "raised" the child.[/quote]

Or he might be a better father to his DD than so many who work so much and never see their kids at all. Plus he might be making a huge effort to be a good dad as he failed he with the divorce and the step mom from hell. Regardless, many 13 year old that you found on list serve have watched even younger kids. OP is nasty.
