[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 74004, member: 2423"] While I can't suggest the "right" consequence for her actions, I would consider having her take a babysitting course at the Red Cross or local hospital (most are 6 to 12 hours of instruction). I also think this is a wake-up call for you. Just because she's a teen doesn't make her responsible enough to watch her younger sisters. Most of our difficult children are emotionally younger than their chronological ages. We still don't have difficult child 1 babysit for his sisters (who are older than your little ones) for extended periods of time, and he's 14. While he's responsible most of the time, he still lacks the emotional maturity to use good judgment in every situation. In your shoes, it would be a very long time before I trusted your difficult child to take care of her sisters unsupervised. [/QUOTE]
