(17, f)This summer I am going to babysit my ten-year-old cousin, because she doesn't want to go to the local daycare. She lives far away, not so far away that I can't do the job, but far away enough that I only usually see her twice a year. My problem is that I can't stop thinking of her as a little kid. That's just how it is my mind, for some reason. I want to treat her like she's more mature, but still somebody I am responsible for. How would I do that? (link)

how would you treat yor bff? think of it as hanging out, but responsibly. when i was a little kid, my babysitter felt like my best friend, because she treated me equal. most likely when you get there it will be easier. you could be stressing over nothing!

lets call the kids jack and jill.
so ive been babysitting jack and jill every other weekend. jill is really good and sweet but jack is not. now there mom wants me to watch them everyday in the summer. and i dont want to! im only 14 i have a life! but their mom is really pushy and in your face.
what should i do?

try telling the mom that jack is a little to much for you. ask her if you can have a friend come and help you babysit. on the summer job, negotiate. tell her every other day. you can always quit. you're in charge. change what you need to change!
