I Have Babysitters Who Are Younger Than Me

I didn't have this happen but it came close. My mom still left me with babysitters when I was a teenager. The sitters were also teens, just 2 or 3 years older than me. One went to my same high school! This was humiliating to me.

Now all these years later I wish I could have experienced having a younger babysitter. I know I would have resented it big time. I am curious how I would have reacted. Would I have obeyed a sitter a year or two younger than me? I would guess yes if the babysitter was confident in her authority over me. I would have also been afraid to deal with my mother if the sitter told her I was disrespectful.

One reason I wish I could have experienced this and all the emotions that come with it is I believe it could have happened. My mom thought of me as immature, maybe even a bit "special". So I think she would have been open to hiring a babysitter a little younger than me who she thought was mature. Plus I looked young. When I was 15 and looked 12, she probably would have hired a 14 year old girl who looked 17.

At 15, I also had a 12 years old looking. I was looking really childish... My pubic hair just started to grow...
