[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on people. I myself was watching my younger siblings alone at home from 8-9 back in the day but it's not about that. The mom should have texted the OP to say her kid would be with the two 6 year old for a moment. Let OP decide if that was comfortable for her or not and she should get her kid back to the house.

Agreed. People like to feign ignorance on DCUM it's not about if a 14-year-old is capable of babysitting. It's irrelevant if you were babysitting infants at 14. IT's also irrelevant if you would allow your 10-year-old to babysit.  OP was under the impression that mom would have been in the house the entire time. Mom should have told OP she was leaving and her 16-year-old would be watching the kids, or told OP when the girl came over that she was planning on leaving.[/quote]

A 14 year old IS perfectly capable of babysitting for such a short time, and it's completely relevant that OP's child was in good hands at all times.  As for not letting OP know, the woman already apologized!  So yes at this point OP should absolutely let it go, there's nothing else to be said at this point.[/quote]
