The one night you invited her son over for was all that was ok, without her clearing it with you first. If she tries to leave her son with you or your mom again, refuse if she doesn't clear it with you first. You are being taken advantage of. Also, you might need to call Child Protective Services if this is a frequent occurrence, your sister abandoning her child.

What ever you do please do not take it out on the child! I do understand it is very frustrating!! Try and look on the bright side of things, like how much you are having a positive impact on this little child! If his mom is not giving him any attention then he will never get the emotional and physical attention he needs to grow up and stay ahead with like the mile stone charts. When a child is given attention they need to learn with they do great, when a child struggles in things that is when you know the child is not getting enough attention at home. You are giving this child attention he/she needs to grow and do things in life! One day you will look at this child and say I changed your diapers and gave you a bath and you were just like my own kid!! I am so proud I got to be apart of your life!! I also know she is using you to get time to do what ever she wants to do for free!! That is not far to you or any of your family members!! I think you might all want to get together and try to have an open talk with her about her responsibilities with being a mom!! Not a part time mom!! The family always comes together in a time of need! This is a time you need to stick together and talk to her about being responsible to her own child, and as a full time mom!! If she does not agree with you then start making her pay you each time she leaves you with the child!! Then she will find out the hard way!!
I do wish you the very best of luck:):)

Call your sis and tell her to come and get her son NOW! Tell you you didn't mind 1 night but a week is rediculous and that you have your own things to take care of and then next time tell her to ask before she just dumps her child on you. Make sure you let her know that you love them both but your not going to be taken for granted like that any more!!!!

drop him off at the pound and tell the mother where you left him when she finally comes by to get him. she'll ask you to watch him a lot less and the child will get educated in the ways of animal control.

Yes, this is definitely wrong. Tell your sister to come and pick him up. Tell her honestly that you are getting tired of taking care of two kids for so long, she should understand. ask her to take turns, it is only fair.

she is using you so she can have a good time. never do this again EVER with her.
if she does, phone child services and then leave imediately.
she is not a friend, she is a USER

sounds like she's using you, you didnt say keep him for a week, just for the night right? tell her this can't continue, if she can't take care of her own child she needs to pay for a baby sitter or daycare
