[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 672947, member: 18958"] I agree with Insane and Junior. I think it is outrageous, both the diapering and the bathing. When I was about 11, I babysat a friend's baby sister. Everything was fine. The baby turned up with a wound from a pin (that was before disposable diapers). The mother accused me. Even without the risk of pins, I think this is borderline abusive, unless Junior is specifically asking to do it. Personally, I think Junior should always be supervised with the baby. Not because he is suspect. But to protect him. To put him into a position where he is responsible for a life, is not right. An adult should always be responsible. That is what I think. Until pre-teen years, and then selectively. The cat box is another issue. This is a task he could do. But should he? I do not think so. I think the Mom is taking advantage. She is using him to do work that she finds disgusting. I resent this for Junior. What must he feel about himself, being forced by [I]his mother[/I] to do her dirty work? The sooner that Bart gets custody, the better, in my view. This Mom is too much. She lacks empathy for both of her children, I think. I am sorry Serenity you have to worry about this. How are you?
