If you were going to babysit younger you today, what would you do together?

I'm back. There's a lot I haven't written about, but here I am now
Today I came across a post that said "if you were going to babysit younger you today, what would you do together?"

I shared it with a 'friend' and she said she'd take herself to the movies....

Guess what my answer is? (I didn't share this answer with anyone). If I were going to babysit younger me today, I would walk away, not spend a single second with her. I would walk away and let her continue to play and have fun because I feel like I would make her world dark with all the negative energy I have within if I stayed. I think she had an ok childhood. What she needed was freedom and no one judging her telling her to stop doing this and start doing that. I would quietly walk away, but maybe she'll feel lonely/betrayed/abandoned?

Anyway, I think it's sick that if I were to take care of younger me, I would abandon her. I didn't think about making her food, didn't think about doing anything. I think it's sick. What kind of sickness it is? no idea

I think I understand your reasoning. But why wouldn’t you sit in the same room and just make sure no one bothered her while she played?

For my younger self, I’d go for a walk with her, because that’s what I enjoyed back then. Still do. Then we’d go get McDonald’s because I have some money for it these days. We didn’t often when I was a kid. I got some when I was student of the month, or sometimes when they had the 50-cent deal and my family consisted of only 6 of us.
