My parens going traveling for 1 month and ask me to look after my sis who is 16 yrs old. Im soon 20 and i dont like to look after her. She will gonna call the police if i come hom late like 9 or 10 n must be home around that time. I dont want to be home whole month-be home after school and no sleep over at friends house or my bfs house. Is it my responsibility 2 look after that 16 yrs old girl? Im living in Norway but I dont know the law. My parents doesnt want me to sleep over at friends house and I dont know why. Heeelp!

You sister's 16 years old and your parents what you to babysit her. Does she have a disability or something? Just sounds a little strange to me. But you gotta do what your parents say, or get out. I'm only 22, and you gotta show respect.

I think you should sacrifice 1 month for your parents. I know it will be a long month to deal with your lil sis, but it won't kill you. You said you don't know the law in Norway... I'm sure they can't "make" you look after her, but you never know when the next time you will need a favor from your parents. Just think about that before you make any decisions. It sounds as though you still live under their roof & not have your own place. You are now an adult & they could easily put you out of their house & make you survive on your own. Be careful what you wish for... You just might get it.

I don't know about the law, but I do know you should do the right thing and help your family out. Instead of thinking it's a bummer that you can't sleep over somewhere, look at it as an opportunity to hang with your sister. I doubt your sister will call the police if you go out one night.

Why would parents leave a 16 year old at home for a month?
You should not be responsible for you sister because she is not your child.
I have no idea what you can do but in my opinion this is poor parenting.

Your parents shouldn't be burdening you with this responsibility. Tell your parents that it's not your responsibility and that if they decide to "take off" for a month without your little sister, you will notify the authorities (i.e., police or division of youth protective services). That may make them change their minds...

Realistically it is not your responsibility, morally, it would seem you would want to take care of your little sister. At twenty years of age, it isn't going to hurt you to take a little responsibility ans stop worrying about what you want and desire. If it were for a prolonged amount of time, I would take your side in this, but a month isn't a lifetime, and you are young enough you will have many more opportunities to do what you want to do.

I think you need to grow up and do what your parents ask, they need to get away and will feel better knowing that your sister/ their daughter is safe. I think you are being very selfish..and I'm sorry but what 20 yr old still has slumber parties...

duty, for my area, is a style of contract interior of a individual. it is likewise the attractiveness of your very own strikes and your intentions, notwithstanding if or no longer they be sturdy or undesirable. once you're taking 'duty' to your strikes, you're acknowledging the outcomes/outcomes that could come from them. I relate love with duty...while it consists of toddlers. To being reliable to your companion or for anybody you adore. duty for taking their emotions into attention once you do some thing. once you adore a individual, all of that turns into your duty. the version between duty and accountability is a skinny line. accountability is a few thing you do in lots of circumstances for the universal income of others, and is in lots of circumstances linked with honor - on an identical time as duty by itself is way less so. accountability is a few thing greater which you sense you may do, like a job. it quite is like a branch of duty. the two can flow hand in hand, nevertheless. once you're in the militia and an officer provides a job, it is your duty to hold that accountability out. duty is a few thing greater intangible and innate, nevertheless. it quite is a few thing which you do no longer could learn how to do, it quite is in simple terms organic to sense it. Love could or won't be our accountability, reckoning on the way you notice it. i do no longer in all risk see it as our accountability by way of fact while i think of accountability, i think of of a few thing which you're extraordinarily much obligated to do. Aka, you may. which you're doing it for another extensive unrelated reason different than you and the guy(s) you adore. And the main suitable variety of affection for me is the variety it quite is loose and voluntary....

did you accept the responsibility? who supports you? what were their instructions? did you tell them you wouldn't? you're asking the question, you feel guilty because you know the answer and are looking for a cop out. Uff da! Snakker du Norsk?
