Dear Care and Feeding,
My two kids and a neighbor (all aged 5 to 8) spend four hours, three days a week at a local playground with a babysitter we hired late in the summer. We live in Brooklyn, and our school has barely been open, so this situation has been an absolutely lifesaver. The babysitter is amazing, and we pay her handsomely because we don’t want to lose her. And we are happy to do it! The problem is that there is a child in one of my kid’s classes who often comes to the same playground. This child is brought by a parent, but invariably, the parent needs to run home to get something or has to leave before the other parent can arrive, and so they ask our babysitter to watch their kid for a few minutes (usually 15 to 30). We don’t know what to do about it. They haven’t offered to pay our babysitter or chip in to the money that we pay. Our babysitter doesn’t seem bothered by it she didn’t even mention it we learned about it from one of our kids. But this babysitter
Dear Care and Feeding,
My husband and I both come from families of heavy drinkers, something I would say is a part of our respective cultures. Throughout our childhoods and to this day, beer, wine, and vodka flow freely at our family’s homes. My husband and I have been exceedingly careful to avoid alcohol addiction, but many of our family members are functioning alcoholics. It’s hard to tell because they’re all “regular” adults who hold down normal jobs and behave normally. But no dinner, Mass, gathering, or party is complete without cases of alcohol.

As a result of this, my kids have no idea that alcoholism runs in both families. It’s time to start the conversation, since I was definitely drinking by the time I was their age. I’m just not sure how to talk about the genetic aspect. I feel like I’ll be throwing my family members under the bus if I point out who has a problem with alcohol, but at the same time, the genetic aspect is a really big deal.
