Don't Feel Like Baby Sitting Rant...I know this is bad.

Okay so the story is...

My brother keeps asking me to watch my niece (who I totally love by the way). But when I started watching her he said that he would give me ten dollars each time. Which isn't much I didn't think. I wouldn't charge him but I need the money...it's not like I have a job right now or anything. Usually they tell me at the last minute, which annoys me...but I deal with it. And a lot of the time they don't even pay me. Which is alright, I know money is tight for almost everyone...actually now that I think about it they stopped paying me ages ago.

He also asks me to drive her back home. Which is costing me gas money. And sometimes it's just not a drive home, when I go early in the morning to watch her his girlfriend ends up asking me to drop her off at work or drop her daughter off at school or both. It becomes a huge never ending drive of unhappyness and gas wasting. And the last time I watched her I took my eyes off of her for a second and she ended up shoving coins into my Wii, and I asked them to at least pay for it to be repaired which is $65 but then he asked me if I was going to pay half....why would I have to pay half!!?? I didn't help her put the coins in there. But I did offer to pay for the shipping. Which was an extra $15...I felt bad.

So he asked me to watch her not too long ago (seriously like an hour ago). There is no one else that is able to watch her since my mom moved away. So when he asks it's impossible for me to say no because there is no one else. But I lied and said I had to go back out to school to drop off some papers. I know this is bad but I just don't feel like it. I have soo many other things that need to be done (lol I know I'm on the internet right now but I just had to complain to someone). And you would think if there is only one person who is able to watch your child you wouldn't treat them like they were expendable. I love my niece I really do...I just don't feel like watching her today.

YOU NEED TO HAVE A GOOD HEART TO HEART WITH YOUR BROTHER LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU FEEL UNAPPRECIATED AND LIKE THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU IT CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE MONEY IS TIGHT BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD TAHT IS YOUR RESPONSIBVILITY NOT YOUR SISTERS TO CARE FOR THAT CHILD

I don't blame you for avoiding it.  Babysitting can be fun, but people do burn out eventually.  Especially with small children who have to be watched constantly.
