What are some things I can tell my parents to prove to them I dont need a babysitter?

Question

I'm 14

Answer 1

i finally dont have a babysitter BECAUSE i did this:

-dont complain while asking for permission ~it just gets you nowhere and makes your parents annoyed

-show some good things of yourself ~despite what you think, your parents are more proud of you for your accomplishments than you are, and bringing them up will turn them into SOFTIES =D

-try to prevent screwing things up when you get permission to do anything ~screwing up makes a parent nervous

GOOD LUCK <3

Answer 2

Okay, first of all stop trying to convince them that you don't need a babysitter, because if there's anything that is guaranteed to make them think you do still need one, it's that.

Instead ask them if they can make a time to sit down and talk with you about this issue when they are not busy and can devote a bit of time to it. Ask them what they need from you for them to feel safe and happy about you staying at home without a babysitter. No matter WHAT their answer is, do your very best to remain calm and mature about the discussion. Genuinely listen to them and take their fears on board, because the only one who will be able to reassure them is you, and the only way you can do that is by listening to them and helping them to understand that you can be trusted to look after yourself. Thank them for taking the time to talk about it with you, and tell them that you will do your best to make them proud of you and feel confident in your ability to care for yourself. Let them know that they have raised you well and your reward will be that they will loosen the reins a little more.

Good luck.

Answer 3

you have to show them and be more grown up
be responsible for your things do your chores, clean up your room without being asked, wake yourself up in the morning get ready on time, do the dishes just overall be responsible.
I don't want to give you false hope some parents have a set number in their head for their child to not have a baby sitter. Do the above things will help if they don't have a set number if they do it won't happen until that age. But if you are irresponsible when that age arrives you will still get a baby sitter

Answer 4

Why don't you want a baby sitter? are you up to no good, doing somthing you shouldn't. Every time you tell them you don't want one, this is what they think. Relax, blow them off when they sit you, and eventually your parents will stop getting one. You only get a babysitter because they love you.

Answer 5

You don't need to tell them anything. You need to show it. Be more responsible. Clean up things after your done and keep your room clean, etc. They care about you. Be happy that you have parents that care, because I don't.

Answer 6

tell them that YOU are old enough to be a babysitter
geesh ur parents must be pretty harsh hiring a babysitter for you at 14. sry, i'm lmao at u

Answer 7

Young women should not be left unsupervised. Who would help you if a rapist were suddenly to burst into your home and attack you? No one, and you would have to face a life of shame, not to mention the possible problems of AIDS and pregnancy. You should thank your parents for caring enough about you to provide you with the care you need.

Answer 8

Show them that you can handle easily being home by yourself and that they should trust you. Tell them that it will affect you if you when you grow up being so overprotected.
Hope it'll work. =)
