This weekend has been my birthday, valentines, and my dh's birthday. My 13 year old dd very kindly offered to babysit her 5 year old brother so that we could go for a meal at restaurant 5 doors away from home.
We didn't take her up on it, as concerned about her being too young to babysit. She's responsible, and we leave her at home now by herself for a couple of hours during the day if she doesn't want to come out with us, but always take ds with us. Much to ds dismay as he'd prefer to stay with her.
Is she too young to babysit in the evening? What's others thoughts on this?
