“My sweet teenager helped her family out and returned to her other responsibility while snuggling her baby brother.
I’m either the worst mom in the world or totally nailing it. Please don’t tell me which one, let me live in ignorant bliss while I stare at this picture.”
Candice wasn’t the only one loving the picture of Stiles. The Internet went crazy for this responsible teen, and praised her for her nap time wizardry.
In the comments, teachers chimed in, saying they’d much rather students come to school with a sibling than miss class altogether.
Candice says the situation was a one-time thing, as Stiles doesn’t normally pick up her brother from school. But family emergencies happen, and her help made an already stressful situation a little easier to handle.

“My daughter asked permission from her teacher to bring him back to class, and the teacher had no problem with it. She goes to a great school that understands the importance of family and education.”
I think it’s safe to say that Candice is nailing it at this mothering thing, and Stiles is learning from the best. She also may have just scored herself a choice of babysitting gigs to last her the next decade.
