This is part aibu, part wwyd?
My sister is 14. I babysit her sometimes, and as much as I enjoy spending time with her, isn't 14 a bit old?
Also, a few weeks ago I met her and my dad in a pub, and my dad asked me to take her to the toilet, as her mum won't let her go on her own.
I should point out that we have the same dad, but different mums.
Part of me thinks that if it's working for them, there's no harm. But she is smart and sensible, and it seems insane that a 14 year old requires a chaperone to the loo, or can't be left alone for 3 hours in the evening.
Would you say anything? Do you think her mum has anxiety issues? Will this affect her development?
