[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So don’t OP. People are thinking that they need to work and it’s near impossible with little kids.

My teen is looking for babysitting jobs. If you don’t get it, move on. No reason to try to make other people feel like they are compromising their health because they need a sitter.[/quote]

They are compromising their health though. Perhaps they've done the risk calculation and feel it is worth it, but let's at least be honest about what we're doing and are in turn asking of others. [/quote]

Working as a babysitter for a family that is being good about social distancing is a far less risky proposition than going to a BLM protest.  By a huge factor.  [/quote]

I don't think that's what OP was saying though. Both are risks. Her family has chosen to take certain risks, and because of that they are turning down sitting jobs. But even once that has been explained, families are still pressuring her daughters to sit for them. That is the risk that OP is saying is unwise. People are so desperate for sitters that they aren't really thinking about what is really in the best interests of their family. I can say I'm social distancing, and you say you are as well, but that looks very different from person to person. You dont know what risk you are exposing yourself and your family to by bringing a sitter into your house. [/quote]
