I (19) just had my nephew (5) for a week while my sister and BIL took care of a family emergency. It was very last minute. They called and asked if I could keep him and he was at my apartment an hour and a half later (they’re an hour away from me).
I’m a full time college student and I work at a daycare part time. I couldn’t drive him to his school and pick him up because of the distance so I emailed all of my professors and my boss and asked if he could come to class/work with me. They were all ok with it.
When I took him to class he had an iPad and headphones, a little Lego set, and coloring books and crayons. He sat quietly in the back of class every day. He was also great at my work.
The problem is, now I have people in a few of my classes upset that I brought him. They’re saying it’s distracting and I should’ve gotten a babysitter instead of taking him with me.
None of my professors had a problem with it. Some even complimented me on how well behaved he was but I wanted to know if I was the asshole.
