My married 17 year old step-daughter wants me to babysit her 1 year old but ever since my 6 year old entered school I'm enjoying my free time. I work part time and in my free time I'm very involved in my church and taking care of her will be a burden. I don't want to have more children cause I enjoy my free time but this feels like having kids all over again! She doesn't have to work but is working against her husbands will, she doesn't pay her current babysitter on time and is very irresponsible with her finances, i.e. bounced checks. Why should I have to babysit when she's the one who didn't take care of herself and got pregnant? I'm only 30, I love my step-granddaughter but don't think it's fair that I have to put my life on hold to take care of her! Also, I have a feeling my husband is going to be offended that I don't take care of the baby! I asked my friend if she would take care of her and she doesn't want to either, both because she wants free time and she doesn't pay on time!
