rant time: my mom calls me and TELLS me I'm babysitting my 5 year old brother tomorrow while she and the rest of my family go to my 7year Old brothers football game. the issue is my 5yo brother is a MENACE!!! he hits yells at you to shut up and he's gonna hit you he loves to tear up any and every toy/play room he gets into. my parents are so focused on themselves and my sister who is a cheerleader in high school and my 7yo brother that they've neglected to even bother to teach my brother right from wrong. my 20yo sister also lives with them but also doesn't want to deal with the 5yo. I understand that my brother doesn't like football or having to sit for long periods of time and starts throwing tantrums and embarrassing them but I'm trying to figure out at what point do I stop having to be the go to babysitter. I'm 8months pregnant sore and tired and have my own two kids to take care of I'm so annoyed at how inconsiderate they are and just dump my brother on me just because they don't want to take time to teach him how to behave.
You're totally right and I did call my mom back I tell her no. it's not fair to me and it's also not fair to him either that instead of getting him used to being out or just taking time out to focus on him they just dump him on me so they all can go about they're day and do what they want while I have to fuss with him and still take care of my kids @wethreepeas
um no! they need to deal with him that thier child not yours, girl its ok to put your foot down and be like sorry i cant watch him anymore, 20 yo sister can or take him along or one of the parents stay home with him. tell them you dont have the energy or patience or time no more with being so far along and the baby coming soon. they cant just dump him on you like that! you have your own responsibilities to deal with they can be his parent and deal / sacrafice. just my opinion but thats it
you ladies are right I usually just do it because my brother does tend to listen to me more than anyone else but at this point I'm way too tired to have to be correcting him or getting after him I've always taken care of him since he was born when I was 17 but now I have my own kids and I'm super pregnant tired and uncomfortable that I'm not going to do it. I just feel a little bad but at the same time if I gotta take care of my own kids so do they
@cubanese, man WHAT! @mommabee37 you have to stand up for yourself. Of they are comfortable doing this now, don't think it'll get better when your baby arrives. They aren't respecting you.
Oh hell to the naw!!! First of all they need to ask, secondly u can say no...forget all that. You need your peace too.
I'm veering toward calling my mom and telling her I can't because I'm always the one they leave him with and it's not fair to me or him because they don't try to please him it's all about my other brother just because he's in football and my dad is obsessed with football and of course my mom goes along. I'm upset that they didn't even first ask how I was feeling and if I was up to it they just called and let me know what time he was being dropped off. @cubanese @tayek
@cubanese, is right. They can't force you. Family can be told no just like anyone else.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
i keep having these weird ahh dreams this time it was about me, my younger sister my younger brother (they are 15 yr old twins) and my mom😔😔😔😔😔
Had the worst day! Bumped into my ex and he held me down while his sister hit me.
Keep the baby or Abortion.......
I'm 5 weeks pregnant which was not planned, told my family and there over the moon. I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years, we said we would be together no matter what. We both live with our parents and I'm in full-time work and he isn't. I've always wanted to be a mum it's one of my dreams, but my boyfriend thinks we should have an abortion because he thinks we are not ready, he doesn't have a full-time job and we are not living together. I don't believe in ab...
I have been trying so hard to be calm, and nice. This morning though, my fiancès son decided to spit at me and hit me. This is constant with the hitting, the spitting is new. We've both tried sitting and talking to him, time outs, cry it out, try to avoid spanking as much as possible but it has happened. No form of discipline works with him. He hits me, he hits his dad, he hits my son. I'm so afraid of what's going to happen come May when the baby is born. Is he going to try and hurt our baby? W...
@mommabee37, very valid point there, yes not only is it not fair to you it isnt fair to him either. you made the right choice i hope they dont make you feel bad for it. good job mamas
