Answer 1

Honey, get a grip.  These kids need someone stable just in case something happens!  That babysitter is an adult and ought to not have been called.  If you knew she did this stuff, shame on YOU for letting her babysit your kids!

Answer 2

I would have never let her babysit!  She would have been out my door in a flash as I would not put my children at risk by leaving them with a dopehead.

All parties have fault in this situation.  Your sister had no business smoking dope when she knew she was being entrusted to take care of children.  Your partner and you are at fault for leaving and letting the children under her doped up, incapable care.  Your mum is wrong for excusing your sister's behavior.

I would never, ever let your sister babysit again nor would I allow her around the children unless she is being supervised by a trusted adult.

I don't have a clue waht "spotting" is so can't help you with that one.  Please though, find someone else to take care of your children.  You would never forgive yourself if something happened to them while your sister was supposed to be watching them.

Answer 3

she is a adult she old enough to know better and I would never let her babysit for me again would if she smoking while your kids is up will your mom blame you for that do your self a favorite never leave her with the kids alone she will never care what she is doing if she doesn't take some responsibilty for it mom needs to stop blaming other people and get her help.

Answer 4

She's brainless! You would be at fault too, as you had to tell her no dope.

Live and learn. Get someone else reliable the next time.

Answer 5

If you knew she was smoking dope as u call it, then that is bordering on child abuse on your part for endangering the wellfare of your children. If you did not know she was smoking when you left your children with her then you should definatley take some kind of action. As for her being an adult or a child she is neither, she is just stupid and waisting her life. I personely would ask my mom to mind her own business if I was taking care of my children. If you knew she was smoking and still left your children with her then maybe mom should be involved in more ways than one. There must be an adult in their lives somewhere.

Answer 6

Obviously if she was on drugs while babysitting she is irresponsible and immature.  Doing drugs at all is careless, let alone while supposed to be responsibile for children.  Never leave your kids with her again.

Answer 7

people have this concept stuck in there head that people that smoke dope are harmfull in some way  looking after kids is much more fun when ive had a few bongs and ive raised two

so i would no

ive also driven cars since i got my licence while stoned and never caused an accident just the other day i went over a blind hill

to find a car stopped in my way  i slamed on my brakes and stoped about a car away from  hitting .

i was stoned.

i can see what would have happened if someone got hurt the old dope smoker would cop it for being stoned

and she had four car lenghts in front of her

she could have moved up

leave us alone.

if the person was drinking then i would be worryed

Answer 8

don`t have her babysit for you anymore.it`s her fault ,she has a real; problem with weed and drugs.she should not be trusted

with kids any age ,asleep or not.

Answer 9

A 17 yr old who smokes dope whilst babysitting... an adult?? How about an irresponsible, immature young kid?

Answer 10

I would call her an idiot. but Listen to this advice, "fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice same on me."

Answer 11

y0our mom is right what an incredibly stupid thing to do

and shes NOT an adult in this country till shes 18 and dopes illegal anyways

Answer 12

Wot u takin bout da flavor of peeps spottin wot be ova if she's the one smokin it. No um sayin? Dat girl betta git wit the program or it's goona git all the way live. Word!

Answer 13

you left your kids with someone you know to do drugs??

what were you thinking?

Answer 14

She is an adult but acting like a childish loser. Why the h**l would you leave ANY kids in the hands of a dope head? That scares me to death. You too are acting childish

Answer 15

umm i would calssify her as an adult because she knows (hopefully) the difference between right n wrong. now i now a lotta people that can function responsibly while under the influence but if you dont trust her you shouldnt leave her with the kids. you know the truth can u trust her or what?

Answer 16

A brain-less loser, that needs to grow up, and become a adult.
