Subject: Babysitter younger than me

Have any of you ever had a babysitter younger than yourself? I know it is unusual and embarrassingly it happened to me. My (single) mother frequently left me with babysitters because she worked all day and went out partying several nights a week. When I became a teenager I was still getting babysat which was shameful to me. My mothet said I wasn't mature enough to stay home alone. Although I was physically small and young looking for my age, I thought I was mature enough but my mom disagreed. Actually I think my mom wanted me to have a babysitter at that age for the control aspects of it. My mom was super strict and she wanted a sitter to enforce her rules, she didn't like the idea of me being home alone free to do what I like.

I couldn't help but notice the age gap between the sitters kept getting smaller. My mom always hired teenage girls to babysit me and now here I was a teen myself. I had sitters just two grades older than me. Just that little age gap gave me some kind of comfort. My biggest fear was that I would get babysat by someone younger than me. That would be the most humiliating thing ever. I was truly worried about this.

My worst fears manifested itself soon after my 15th birthday. My mom told me she hired a new babysitter and that I know her. Her name was Christine..my mom said I knew her from school. It turned out to be a girl in one of my classes...she was in 8th grade and I was in 9th (the school was 7th 8th and 9th grades). I didn't know her well but I knew she was a pretty girl who seemed stuck up.

I told me mom that girl (who was the daughter of one of her coworkers)couldn't be my babysitter because she was a year younger than me. My mom was irritated and angry that I would even question her decision. "Age doesn't mean sh*t, I met her she is more mature than you". This was a nightmare to me but I didn't have time to stress about it because she would be my babysitter that evening!

About 2 hours later she knocked on the door. My mom, dressed in a slutty outfit ready to hit the bar, greeted her warmly. "Hi Christine...welcome...this is my kid Jason". I akwardly said something like "I already know her". I really didn't know her, she never would have talked to me in school, but I have seen her many times. My sense was my mom knew this was humiliating to me and she was enjoying it. "Christine, you are in charge if my kid gives you any trouble let me know. Since it's not a school night his bedtime is at 9...he can't stay up later OK".

My mom left and it was just me and my new babysitter. I expected her to laugh at me for being older than her but there was no laughing or teasing at all. She was too mature to do that...besides just like at school she didn't talk to me. She was like an ice queen and as aloof as can be. I tried to make conversation a couple times and she ignored me. She then got on the phone and started talking to a friend while I sat next to her on the couch watching TV. I looked her over..this pretty blonde and her developed body...wearing makeup...looking all grown up. I looked like a little kid in comparison. The truth hit me as unflattering as it was...my mom was right..she was more mature than me. Accepting this was actually good for me because it took away some of my resentment. At 9pm she finally talked to me "It's your bedtime, go to bed". I sheepishly got up and walked upstairs to bed.

Christine became my regular babysitter for the next several months. Anytime she talked to me it was a command "Do your homework", "clean your room" etc. Of course the most important one for my mom was bedtime...which was 8pm on school nights (which seemed ridiculously early to me). One night I asked Christine if I could stay up and watch a TV show". She got mad...gave me a really bitchy look and firmly said "No! It's your bedtime...you go to bed now". That little exchange left no doubt she was my authority figure. It seemed so strange that someone younger than me was bossing me around yet it also seemed natural..like the correct order of things. While she never spanked me (I had some sitters who did) she turned out to be one of my strictest sitters. For example I would clean a room, such as the kitchen, She would inspect it and tell me it wasn't good enough and make me do it again. Plus, unlike other sitters, she never made friendly conversation with me. Anytime she talked to me it was snapping out an order.

Looking back I think this was a good experience for me. Here it is 35+ later and I have bosses at work who are 10-20-30 years younger than me (and all female) and I obey them all day long and enjoy doing so.
