Yeah, but a lot of times she was on the phone to her boyfriend, or doing homework.
I don’t think there are hard rules about babysitting. When I pay someone to come out and spend time with our cats when we’re in vacation, I expect them to be engaging with the cats and not just sitting in the house in their phone. Maybe with babysitting, parents only expect the sitter to provide adult supervision, not play with their kids.
IIRC, half the time Rosalyn tried to engage; the other half she was doing her own thing. Sounds pretty realistic for the average teenager.
