I couldn't agree more about the 2 adult rule. We use this rule at our church. No adult is allowed to go anywhere with a child by his or her self. Another adult is REQUIRED to go with them. This is for the safety of the child as well as the adult. It is ALWAYS a good idea to have another adult with you whenever possible. Especially when the situation could be uncomfortable (eg. bathroom, changing soiled clothes). As for the handyman issue. I think it is expected that a man will help with the heavy stuff or repairing things. I don't know why it is that way, but it is. Whether it is right or not is not for me to decide. All I can say about it is the choice is yours buddy. Don't be afraid to say "no" if you feel uncomfortable about it. Then again, don't be afraid to step outside of your job description and say "yes" just to be a nice guy. :) Hope this helps. Name: Email: Subject
