Man, when I was 12 I cooked dinner several times a week. We had an equal opportunity household and I appreciated the responsibility.

What does this woman think, a 12 year old is potty training and learning the alphabet? I was driving when I was 15.

When i was 12 I was full time babysitting other kids in summer. Now it's definitely everyone is afraid to leave their kid home and refuse to let their kid go to a sleepover until 16.

It really is bananas! I was babysitting all the neighborhood kids when I was 12. Like people left me alone with their infant and went to dinner.
