Joseph U. - We're too old
for a baby-sitter.
Mm. W. U. - It gives me
peace of mind to hire one.
JossDh U. - I'm 14. and I

them that I can take care of
all three of us. and 1 11 do
it for nothing, or for what
ever thev want to pay me,
, My mother hires anyone
she can get and sometimes
it's a high school kid who's
not much older man i. 10
make things worse, she plans
to work in my tamers aress
shop during the Easter rush,
and she wants us to go to our
aunt s home alter scnooi in
cfoaH nf In nnr nwn
I'd like to know why she
doesn't trust me to take
charge.
Mrs. W. U. - I wish Joe
could understand that I trust
him. but I don t trust the un
known. I'd worry about him
and the others unless I knew
where they were, who was
taking care of them, and how
to reach them at all times.
I don't want to frighten
him with a mother's reasons,
but I see many dangers in
leaving youngsters unsuper
vised. And I don't like the
idea of putting an older child
in charge of the younger ones.
They consider him bossy, re
sent him, and give him a
hard time. He can't possibly
have the judgment or wisdom
of an experienced sitter .
There's more to taking
charge than Joe realizes.
The Council - Some read
ers, will undoubtedly cite a
14-year-old on the family tree
who, at that tender age, was
out supporting himself, keep
ing house for a motherless
home and performing other
emergency feats. But this was
not necessarily good. It was
just necessary.
In Joe's instance, there's no
necessity for such bravado
showing of capability. And
certainly, in a pinch, h i s
parents would leave the house
and siblings to his teen-age
tender care. 1
Here, however, there are
alternatives and Mrs. U.
chooses to use them and we
second the move. While she
trusts Joe's ability to hold
the four walls together and
guard life and - limb, she
wants to be sure of a bit
more in her absence. Will
homework be done? Will TV
run overtime? Will a well
balanced meal be served and
consumed? And if kid broth
er or kid sister acts up, will
a cool judgment be exercised
by a veritable King Solomon
of a sitter? Also, would a sud
den fever or a rash mean any
thing to, even be recognized
by, a preoccupied fellow like
Joe? He should be glad that
the responsibility for so many
decisions, some of them split
second ones, is not left with
him too soon or too often.
But we catch what's be
hind Joe's gripe. It's being
"Lumped" with the others.
A 14-year-old boy wants some
recognition that he's no long
er just one of "the kids."
Our advice to Mrs. U., then,
is to find ways to enhance
his prestige both at home, in
front of the younger children
and the official baby-sitter,
and abroad, at the aunt's
home where he and the oth
ers will park during Mam
ma's work stint. Perhaps he
can do some marketing for
his aunt. Or make the choco
late pudding for the supper
dessert.
We'd also hope that Mrs.
U. doesn't hire "anyone she
can get," but rattier the ex
pert, motherly type who can
demonstrate to Joe that being
adult and being bossy arc not
synonymous. Being friendly
but firm comes closer.
