Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
advice
my older sister just had a baby. and me and my mom have been taking care of him. and now that i've had experense with babys. i think im old enough to take care of him my self. but everytime i ask my sister she says im not old enough. i feel she dos'nt trust me. i feel she dos'nt think im responsble. i mean she babysat infits when she was my age. how do i convince my sister that im old enough and responsble enough to do this
i'll rate 5s for good answers
It's probably first baby jitters. New mothers trust their babies with very few people so I wouldn't take it personally. My sister has two children and is still picky about who she lets take care of the babies.
I would suggest asking your sister if she would considering letting you watch the baby yourself as long as there is someone else in the house. That way you have the responsibility for the baby, but your sister doesn't have to worry about what you would do if something happened. Once she's gotten used to you taking care of the baby alone but with someone in the house, talk to her again and ask her if she'll let you watch the baby completely unsupervised for a short period of time. For example, for thirty minutes while she runs to the store. Once she gets used to that, you can work your way up to longer periods of time.
Good luck and congrats on the new baby.
(Rating: 5) thank you so much, that's the best advice i've herd all of today
