Finding the right babysitter you can trust will always be a challenge and one listener thought she had the solution, but things just didn't work out.
Hi Vic
So I have three kids, one is my 18-year-old son, a daughter aged 13 and another 10-year-old boy.
The problem is, my 18-year-old simply refuses to do anything to help me with his siblings.
Both his dad and I work, and money is tight because of the Coronavirus and we’ve had to scale back on some things.
My son has a part-time job and he works evening shifts.
So most of the day he could be at home watching his siblings but her just won’t do it.
I’ve spoken to him about it and he says it’s not his job and we must get a babysitter because he wants to do other things.
He lives in my house and I told him it’s the least he could do.
Should I ask him to move out or am I being harsh?
