I am 16 years old. My mom thinks I need a babysitter when she and dad over night not at home. How do I explain to her that I don't need that anymore now that I'm 16? She's very old-fashioned and very strict.

Tell them you need a very expensive sitter and order a call girl!😆

@UnderLockDown My mother certainly doesn't understand this kind of humor.

Make them a nice dinner one night, chicken thighs, baked potatoes and green beans and then clean all the dishes while they relax. It’s an easy no fail dinner, nuke the potatoes and steam the veggies and the chicken can be mildly spiced and will be delicious.

I don't think it does any harm. It might be nice to have some company. It depends if they treat you like a matire person, providing you are mature. You come across as being.

16 is old to have a sitter. I think your parents just want someone around so you don't burn the place down.

@chrisCA I agree.
16 is generally considered too old for a babysitter.

However, it's also worth noting that not everybody's circumstances are the exact same.
