[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone here with kids who have an age gap? How do you handle it when the older sibling no longer wants to babysit or look out for the younger one? [/quote] I don' force my oldest kid to babysit the younger. They are 3yr.s apart. But... Why are you making it their job? you chose to have them. That's your job. My sister and I are 6yrs apart and I had to babysit her since I was 14. I hated it. I didn't like being a "mother figure" to her. I always got blamed for things she did because she was on my watch. Siblings should be there to support each other and have fun, not to be "parents" to each other. [/quote] Similar situation except I was expected to watch my niece as if she was my sibling (her and her mother lived with us). The whole thing was super dysfunctional.[/quote]
