Re: Stepdaughter wants to babysit baby brother | | I absolutley do not think you are wrong!!! If she can't even verbalize how she is feeling without retorting to names, then.. I think you have your answer. Also if the baby is almost one then, he probably does not eat very much "baby" food anymore. I know my 16 month old has never had jar food more then just a few times when she was a baby, but by one she was eating everything we ate. The only time she doesn't is if its something spicey or whatever. So I'm sure your one year old could eat a piece of chicken and she could cantiminate his food. Also if he is still nursing she could improperly make his bottle when you go out, or if he is on formula, what if she isn't paying attention and mixes that stuff up wrong. Nope I wouldn't trust her either. Now my niece was reliable to babysit by the time she was 11, but my other niece is 15 and I still wouldn't trust her. |
