Girls, How old is too old for a babysitter?

[Anonymous]

I had a babysitter until i was 14-15 years old and i hate my mom for it today as an adult I know she didn't mean to f**k up my teens but she did because her overprotectiveness was worse than the weeks with an abusive dad.

You hate your mother because she made the effort to ensure someone was caring for you, when she couldn't? Sounds like whatever she did you'd find reason to blame her for something.

Your to old to understand, the sience all but proves that an overprotective parent is worse than an abusive or absent parent. www.psychologytoday.com/.../yes-overprotective-parenting-harms-kids or www.reddit.com/.../ or www.quora.com/Can-overprotection-become-abuse-if-it-isolates-the-child-from-making-keeping-friends-developing-social-skills-and-damages-relationships-with-other-individuals or you can google it yourself

Yeah see that's great and all, but. Overprotective parents wouldn't bring in a babysitter because nobody else is good enough to care for their kid. You just sound ungrateful and a bit spoiled.
