Am I a bad person?
Okay, I am a stay at home mom of a five year old and one on the way and go to school full time . I babysit for my sister fulltime because I stay at home. I didn't want to because this is my time to get ready for our baby, finish school, and she just uses and abuses till you don't want to help her anymore. She acts like everyone owes her something because she doesn't know how to make one good choice. She only thinks of herself and not her children. She makes enough money to take care of everything in her life without even working, but she blows it before she even gets it. She is never happy anywhere and moves every couple of months. She has a 13-12-1 year old children I feel sorry for them. I ve been sitting for her w/ agreement that she wouldn't move again for at least the school year, well shes moving. This wasn't the agreement, now I really don't know how to tell her to figure it out for herself. I can't handle the stress w/my own pregancy, school, & family.

You just have to tell her. I know it's hard, because it seems like you are betraying family, but she is the one who betrayed you by taking advantage of your kind heart. You need to take care of yourself and your family first.

Tell her you would like to keep the kids for a weekend or so but if she moves you won't be able to take care of them during the day and she will have to figure out a way to do everything she wants to do adn then eventually she will learn to be responisble and take care of her kids and not to abuse you.

Tell her you can't do it. Family doesn't = doormat!! Tell her she broke the contract, and now she's gotta find another sitter. I know it's hard to put the kids through that, but she really does need to figure things out for herself.

Tell her you can no longer do it. You are here sister but you are not responsible for her. You are not her mother. She needs to grow up and learn to take care of her own things not you.

Just say NO... If you have to, then lie and say the Doctor put you on bedrest due to the stress.... Get your husband to tell her you are not 'allowed' to do it anymore, but whatever you do ... stop. Right now your first priority is your pregnancy.
