An Option
Claudia’s sister suggested that her daughter J’Ann would be a good choice in babysitter for Ava while Claudia was at the meeting. Claudia was initially uneasy about the thought of a teenager watching her 2 month old baby, but then she thought about the fact that she knows that J’Ann is a responsible young woman.
No Other Option
In addition to having her sister’s reassurance that J’Ann was up to the job, Claudia also realized she didn’t really have any other realistic options. She felt the fear that every new parent has when they have to leave their children for the first time. Was she right to be so worried, or was it just something she needed to get used to?
