Miss my old babysitter.?

Question

I'm ten years old and get have to get babysat a few times a week becuz my parents have a hectic schedule. i used to be babysat by a high schooler named Pete, who used to be my summer camp consler. we were really close and he was like a big brother to me. my mom started having our new next door neighbors daugther (she is 15) babysit me instead. she says its because it's cheaper and she can call on her on shorter notice.
susan, my new babysitter, never plays with me and barely talks to me. she spends most of her time on the phone. it's also really embarassing because mom makes the babysitters check on me when i take a bath (i can wash myself but she has them make sure i get it done). i wasn't embarassed when pete did it because he's a boy, but i dont like a girl babysitter seeing me naked. i also dont think she pays attention to or likes me much. i miss pete, he was a good friend and gave me advice and stuff and i really looked up to him.

no i havent spoken to my mom about it in depth..whenever i start to mention it she brings up the money and distance thing.

the bath thing is really embrassin for me as 10 year old boy but its my moms rule that the babysitters check on me to make sure i dont dilly dally (as she says). pete was the only one who felt comfortable checking on me.

he really was more like a big brother and one of my best friends.

Answer 1

I am sorry to hear about that. Have you spoken with your Mom at length about this? I can understand her desire to go with somebody cheaper and who lives closer by, but perhaps she didn't take into account your relationship with Pete. I think good male role models are hard to come by and the extra price she would pay him would be well worth it for what your recieving. I would sit down with your Mom and have a long talk with her explaining your feelings on the matter and suggest to her that if she doesn't want to continue to use Pete as a babysitter, that you would like the relationship to continue in some sort of matter because he's a big influence on you. Perhaps she will see the reasoning in that.

Answer 2

i am a babysitter so i know what it's like with everything. first of all what happend to pete? why doesn't he babysit you any more? is there any way you can get him back? and with you new babysitter try this first. get to know her. tell her that you want to play video games with her, play a fun board game, watch a great movie! play with her and have fun! but if she just tells you that she can't or that she's busy or that she's on the phone right now (and she should NOT be on the phone when she babysits you! okay lesson number 1! ) then just keep to yourself until your mom get's home and tell her that you really don't like her and she talks on the phone and doesn't really watch you properly. now it may be hard for your mom to find someone as flexable with the time to babysit you but that shouldn't be too hard to do. and tell your mom that you would perfer a guy for a stitter. and you know what that's cool cuz you are very right a guy know guy things and like to do guy things with you and is like a big brother and a role model and it's a heck of a lot less akward when he checks on you for you bath! trust me i babysit 4 girls! a 1 year old, a 4 year old, a 7 year old and a soon to be 9 year old! so i am a very big role model to them and like a big sister to them too and we do girl things like do nails, do there hair, do fashion shows and all the good stuff! (for girls i mean) so try to find another guy sitter that you can have fun with! good luck!

Call Pete on the phone. the two of you could spend some time together when he has free time. Tell him you miss him and want to vsit.
