Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Well,I do have some thoughts on this one.
Being that you are 22, you are still young, yet too old to kick it with children. If you are setting an example thus far as being a role model is concerned, then great job, I respect you! I will share a situation with you that I had. I have a 16, 15 and 12 year old. I am 34. My children and their friends thought that I was "cool" to hang out with. Well, I noticed their friends began cursing around me and losing the respect they once had when testing me out. So, I was challenged at first of how to deal with it. So, Finally, I began correcting them and only allowing one day a week for time with all of them. I started taking them to poetry reading, and open mikes, coffee shops - artistic things. I took them to museums, Science Centers, etc.
It is OK to be cool, but reflect your definition of cool and their definition of cool as being two different things. You can not do the things that they do, but set an example of positive things that you do, so that they may be introduced to it. Show that them that is ok to be cool maturely. We need more positive role models for our youth in these times. We need to be responsible for introducing them to things outside of what they see and hear in everyday society, so that they have the experience and opportunity to see,learn, participate and experience in mature positive, nurturing activities.
Good Job and look forward for the doors you have the opportunity to open for others!
