[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assume the parent works overnight. What are your honest thoughts on a (mature, responsible) 16yo and a (mature, responsible) 12yo (both girls) watching themselves 3-4 days a week. The alternative is the parent loses their job, which is niche (think air traffic controller) and salary not easily found elsewhere without experience. Other parent not in picture. [/quote] No. It is not ok. A 16 yr old is still a child a she should not be put in a permanent situation where she is responsible for a younger sibling. You are putting the responsibility of HHI on a teenager and this is unconscionable. [/quote] Careful, your privilege is showing. She is not permanently responsible for her younger sibling. 3-4 nights a week mom works nights and they eat dinner and go to bed themselves. Is it ideal? No. And I’m sure a lot of kids couldn’t handle it. But sounds like these girls are mature and responsible and it’s working well. [/quote]
