[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen babysitter who does not drive has been babysitting more.  I always get her to her jobs, but expect the family who is babysitting to drive her home. One family always seems to expect me to pick her up at the end of the night. I would understand if they ask on occasion if one parent is out of town and the other comes home and does not want to leave young kids alone late at night, but generally if both parents are there shouldn't one of them drive my daughter home?

I've never even thought to have the parents of the sitter pick their kid up.

I, thremom ALWAYS drive home female teen sitters. We also use male sitters and for that it is whomever has not been drinking. My DH won't even take a closed door meeting with a female one on one at work, so there is no way he will ever put himself alone with a teen girl in a car.[/quote]

Your DH won’t have a meeting with a woman at work unless the door is open?  That is extremely unprofessional, and if he has any amount of power could be discrimination/harassment. [/quote]

I'm a man and have 800 people under me in the org chart. An accusation was found to be false for harrassment on a fellow colleague. This was devastating and traumatic for him and his family. Luckily the claim was dismissed. Along with the blessing and guidance of HR and legal myself and a few other men have implemented this policy. It leaves no room for interpretation or opportunity for a career ending false accusation.

This is the climate we live in. A man in guilty in the court of public opinion without even the facts being presented. Until this changes, I'm not putting myself in any situation that could be her word against mine because there will ne no situation where I'm alone with an opportunist who can destroy my career with words.[/quote]
