[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all realize that teens took care of newborns for several millennia in human history right?[/quote] Teens these days are so infantilized by their parents that it’s an entirely different proposition from a time when 12 year olds were regularly having their own children.[/quote] Agree. But also, the way to get experience is to actually DO things, which anxiety-ridden parents never let their kids do! That said, I didn’t let anyone watch my newborn baby except my our parents. I mean newborns are tiny and helpless and need special care…so…while I would let my own 16 accept a job, I would never hire a 16 yo to do the job. [/quote]
