Should a teen/adolescent be babysat if they wear nappies?

Hello, I'm wondering about this question; As I am in this position. I'm 16 but I'm still babysat because I wear nappies and have frequent accidents. The babysitter also helps me change out of my pull-ups too. I just need some advice to if this is ok with any of you.

Hi,

It's a really tough one as none of us know what your parents are thinking and the full reasons behind it all and it's not for us to judge someone else's decisions. However you are of an age where you are starting to make bigger decisions for yourself so I guess the thing to do is that if you are unhappy with the situation perhaps you need to sit down with your parents and explain how you feel. It can be hard as a parent to give your children more responsibility and freedom because they still seem so young to you.

Can you change yourself if you need to? Perhaps if you come to them with some potential ideas for how it would work without a babysitter then your parents might be open to the suggestion. Also you could try with a short period of time on your own and if that works ok then extend it to a longer period.

Good luck and I hope you get the outcome you are looking for.
