Ask Dear Dee

Dear Dee:
I very much enjoy reading your blog and was intrigued by a recent entry about the girl whom, at 16, wants a baby.

This intrigues me cause I have felt the same way for quite awhile (I'm 17). My older sisters have kids and I love them to death but babysitting them, I know how much work they are, and I'm not even there 24/7!

I can't imagine doing that on top of my other work, and school even with help (btw kudos on raising yours as a teen). If it's possible could you pass a message to the girl for me?

I was thinking maybe she could take a couple babysitting classes, then she could spend time with little ones (while earning money) and get a better idea on how much work they are. Thank you very much.
