Teens Babysitting: WHAT is the POINT

OK. So you do all the work getting them to be all responsible and everything. You pay for the CPR class, the babysitting class and the lifesaving class. After all, you still have young kids at home. Then your younger friends catch wind of it. They stay out really late. YOUR babysitter that you groomed for yourself thinks that is really cool because they are getting paid by the hour. You get to stay home and read just like you did when you were a first time parent and couldn't afford a babysitter. You get to stay up late just like you did when you were 25, but you aren't. But this time you do it fitfully because you are falling asleep and nervously because you have to worry about intruders and drunk drivers. Your friends don't have to worry about intruders and drunk drivers because they have a very responsible babysitter and they are driving your kid home later, so what could happen. You get to wake up at the crack of dawn because you've been responsible for so many years that that is what you do naturallllllly. I think what you get out of parenting teenage babysitters is that neither you or your teen spent any money and one of you actually made some.
