Syag, you are right to tell RisingSun that a babysitter has no right to judge, I would just like to point out that there are some mothers who really can be idiots about what is good for the child, and just never give their child water. And to go off on a tangent, there are some mothers who can be idiots about what is bad for the child as well. I was once asked by a mother if my two and a half year old was ok eating whole parve sausages. I said to the mother “she’s two and half, why should I cut them up for her?” and she said to me that kids can choke on stuff, even at that age and older! I told her that the sausages were soft, she has all her teeth and she knows how to eat – it’s only hard stuff like hard sweets that even older children can choke on. And she still looked at me as if I shouldn’t be giving my child whole sausages. And I remember thinking, does she still cut up her two year old’s food into small pieces the whole time? Like I said, there are mothers who are idiots.
