I am a college student expecting my 3rd child this summer. Are my first 2 kids old enough to babysit while I'm in class (my projected schedule is 2 hours after school, 3 days per week). The baby should be 6 weeks old when class starts. They are very responsible kids, but I'm not sure, even though I babysat starting at age 12.
My other question is: is it fair to have them babysit? When I think of all the free time they have for video games and ipods and such, I think it is; however I understand that it's my baby, not theirs, and I don't want to unduly burden them.
Should I just get a sitter?
