Am I wrong, I dislike my nephew because ever since he was born I was left out. My momma uses my lunch money for school to buy him stuff. I have 6 brothers and sisters (not including the one who had the child) and they all agree with me because I's not right she is almost 30 had a child, single, and still living at home. I feel its not right for her and my nephew to be treated like queen and prince while me and my sibling must rotate babysitting because she wants to do all this other stuff. Plus she gets food stamps and won't let any of us but my momma to eat out of the refrigarator we have to go to my grandmother's house to eat.

No you are not wrong, nor do you or your siblings have to babysit unless you agree to and as well get paid for it. otherwise the mother can make other arrangements. I cant speak for your mom, But you do have the right to tell her how all of you feel, and then just do the best you can. I agree it is not right that a 30 yr old should be living at home and not making contributions, rather she is free loading . But if its you moms house it is hard to get her to agree, with you. Best of luck

Tell your mama that you need lunch money and your'e her child too. Tell her your schooling and health will suffer if you don't have the right food to eat. The nephew is your sisters problem, she chose to have it and she should be working not going out all the time and use the family as babysitters. Tell her what you charge for babysitting and if she tells you family sits for free say, if you're working you should even pay for babysitting services. As for the food stamps-she's living there free-the least she could do is to let you have all the food you need. She got herself in this mess and not you.
You shouldn't have any responsibility to this little guy. Your'e mother should be ashamed of herself not putting her own children first and then grandchild second. Your mother is wrong. I am on your side and I'm 50 years old and knows better. Good luck and hang in there girl!

That is truly a shame that your mother would allow this hopefully you are not telling the complete story. this sounds like some form of neglect on your mother's part. have you talked to your gm about this and called a faimly meeting with the entire family. i think your mother is sending the wrong signal about everything especially when it is causing rilvalry amongst the family. seek additional family or church support.

Yes, you are wrong. It is not your nephew's fault he is just a baby and does not get a choice. It is your momma's and sister's fault for neglecting you and the other children. Talk to them about it.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. Go live with your grandmother. Maybe your mother will get the hint she's a bad mother.

She's on food stamps? She's 30? Why can't she work?? No it's not right that you can't eat in your own home. That's ridiculous. You are not wrong.

Sounds like it's your mom and sister's fault, not your nephew. Don't be mad at him, be mad at them.

if what you're saying is true, (i have my doubts about that) you can call DHS or some kind of social services and they will help you.
