Alright, so this has been happening every day since i was 15/16. And it just resently happened like 5 mins ago. My 24 year old sister has been taking advantage of me watching over her 3 year old son. Alright so i use to not mind watching him but now! Ugh! Hes horrible! They both live with me and my mom and literally ill make plans months before something but when she needs a babysitter, IM FORCED to cancel my plans for her. If o say no to her she threathens me with "im going to tell my mom" and ny mom comes to me saying if i dont watch him i will be grounded, my phone taken away, and i cant see my friends! Like wth! My sister also works grave at 12am and comes home at 8am so i get she needs she sleep, i do. But she wakes up later on at 1130pm.. SERIOUSLY! A Normal person needs 8 hours of sleep maybe an extra 2 but really? FIFTEEN HOURS OF SLEEP! I have a life that i cant even live and im tired of it because i cant do nothing about it... i am 17 and turning 18 in Feb. I AM LEAVING WHEN IM OF AGE! So many people know my story when it comes to this but i cant do anything :'( ive been broken down by them! And when i try to talk to my mom about it she just takes my sisters side like "oh no you need to watch ur nephew , your sister needs her sleep" REALLY?! I wish somebody can do something about it now rather than waiting until my birthday ... help me of you can please i cant deal with this anymore it feels like i have no life and im basically a teen mom and hes not evem my kid. He always comes to me when he wants something and doesnt really go to her for much.
Is it normal at at!!!!??? :(

    I'm sorry your sister is a stupid, entitled cunt who can't keep her legs closed. You on the other hand I like, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors to seek freedom.

    If your sister sleeps fifteen fricking hours and works graveyard shifts, when the heck does she ever spend time with her son? Also, where is the dad? Does he not have any responsibility to his son? I really feel bad for this 3 year old because it sounds like his mom had him when she was too young and is not neglecting him and he has a deadbeat dad. Seriously, it's very nice of you to be watching that kid at all but just because your sister was stupid and had a kid unwed and young, doesn't mean that you have to make up for her mistakes.

    Do what's best for nephew, play with him, teach him, you will get a great reward from that.

    Tell you mom he's not your kid. If your mom doesn't like it, tell her to punish your sister. Remind your mom you were not the one who got knocked up; she was.

    I think i havw tried every little thing wether its telling my mom its not my fault to i dont want to do it. My mom doesnt like dealing with my sister and i fighting.. she really doesnt and it bugs me because when my sister and i argue shes one to talk over people and i can mever put a word in and my mom respondes with a "idc" or "forget ot" or even "idc shes ur sister and u have to do it for her" .. shes not doing things for me so why should i. If i wrote down every thing that has happen to me it be an endless book
