[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- So sorry that many of you did not understand what I stated clearly -- i.e., that my daughters have no problem telling people, "No, I can't babysit".  And, yes, as I stated (in the first sentence of my post), I know that life is difficult right now for parents of young children.  To those who note we are financially fortunate, yes, that's correct, and I apologize for not acknowledging this.  All that said, folks who are asking teens and college students to babysit are acting irresponsibly and irrationally.  [/quote]

If your young adult offspring are capable of saying "no," then what, exactly, are you complaining about? That other families have a need for childcare that's very difficult to fill right now, and that they view your daughters as capable and responsible individuals whom they trust to care for their own? You're quite the bitter pill, Barb. If it's irresponsible to ask young adults to babysit, would it heal your wounded ego if parents instead asked cranky old hags like you? (Rhetorical question. We know you're acting out of fear and entitlement. Go pour yourself a glass and relax.) [/quote]
