The thing is with teenagers things change from day to day, their attitude, their behaviour, it's hard to keep up as a parent. Yesterday DS14 was going to a sleepover at his mates house on Friday but because of his attitude this morning he is now no longer going. I suppose what I'm trying to say is sometimes as a parent we say something but the next day it can change. So as Fiona initially told her friend it was up to her about the babysitting things can change in between. I think it's important that you tell your DSD exactly where she stands as far as the babysitting.
