Is it safe for teen dd to baby sit .

This thread is apart of my other thread regarding nose complaint.

My 14 almost 15 year old is meant to be baby sitting for adult dd today for a few hours in the afternoon. But we are concerned the neighbour might start bashing on the door and shouting etc. Do i let dd baby sit instructions her to have all doors locked do not answer no matter what And to call the police if she gets scared.

But also if the police do need to call could anyone get into trouble for dd baby sitting and the police having to be called. Or is it OK because she knows what to do to keep them safe ?

Just to add teen dd is not being made to babysit . And me /adult dd are not sure if she should. But the neighbour thing has been going on for a while we are never sure if she will start or not. Even though teen dd knows what to do and doesn't seem bothered I'm not sure it's a good idea

I know your entitled to a life and your neighbour is a nut.
Won't your 14 year old be scared from the start with that set of instructions.
Angry man banging on the door I would imagine being terrifying for her.

It's a woman doing the banging. Teen dd says she doesn't care if neighbour starts she will close living room door and ring police.

Sorry there was similar thread with a man creating with a neighbour with a baby.thought it was one and the same.
It's no fun having a nutty neighbour,I know that from experience.

Hmmm not sure about this, is it fair on your DD to be in that situation of the neighbour kicks off? Could the kids be brought to your house for DD to babysit them instead??

No definitely not . I have to much to do.

Dd says she wants to do it and she not bothered about the neighbour. She has heard it b4 but she wasnt on her own.

I will talk to dd properly in a min

Can your daughter not have her sister's kids at your house instead so she doesn't have to deal with the possibility of the nuisance neighbour?
