[quote=Anonymous][quote] I guess I come at it from a somewhat different perspective. My parents constantly made me care for my sister (5 years younger) when I was a middle schooler (think every day all day long when we were not in school and every day after school). While I was able to handle most situations fine, a few arose that were really outside of my capabilities and it was traumatic for me. Yes, I have also had that experience. I was very mature and frequently was put in charge of younger siblings starting when I was about nine. It was not fair to me as I was a worrier and stressed a lot about doing the right thing. It also affects the sibling dynamics when one kid is in charge of the others. Oh good God. So now siblings can't babysit either? That should be the next MD law I guess [/quote] There is ALREADY a law saying that you need to be 13 to be responsible for a child under 8 in the home. So be indignant all you want.[/quote]
