I have to agree with you, I am not comfortable with the idea and I do think it is too much to ask of my stepdaughter but my husband thinks it is too much to ask of her to stay home with a sitter!
My husband actually suggested that we get a sitter for the 3yo & take the 13yo out with us but there's no way I'd leave the toddler alone with a stranger without my stepdaughter being present. His concern is that SHE feels too old to have a babysitter!! Honestly, I don't understand how the male mind works sometimes.
