O.K...
Tomorrow night, my parents want to go out for a night of fun... by themselves. I'm 13 and I can either watch my sister overnight or go to Chuck's house. He's a family friend but his kids do not like me and I do not like them. But Chuck really wants us to come over... he's had a tough year and he has been looking forward to this. We were going to bake cookies and everything but I don't know if I want to deal with their kids... what should I do... I really don't want to hurt him and I'm kind of scared to be with my sister ALL night by ourselves... since our house got robbed last year... I have no clue what to do!!! Please help. I also don't want to put up with the mean things his kids say to me! But Chuck is really nice and his wife died this year, his mom died this year, and his dog died this year! His dog died while trying to climb a fence and her collar got caught on the fence and she hung. His wife died of cancer and she was only forty years of age. And his mom died of old age! I feel bad for his kids that they lost their mom but don't know if I should go over there and... DEAL WITH THEM! It would also be overnight... and the oldest son, Corey, has a crush on me and I don't think I want to sleep in the same room as his but the youngest son, Chuckie, gets on my nerves. I doubt he'll be thatway way around his dad but... I don't know! PLEASE HELP! (link)

This sounds made up so you will have to excuse me on that. The reason? How can one person have all that bad fortune in a year? I will answer this as though it unfolded like you said.
This man's bad luck or string of it is not your problem. You should be kind and sympathetic but beyond that you owe him nor his kids anything at all. This is an invitation for you to go somewhere and you get the decision of going or not.
Will he feel upset you did not go? No. Will his son Chuckie feel angry or disapointed? Maybe Chuckie will. But again you owe them nothing and have the right to make your own mind up.
If you would rather babysit your sister than do that and tell them your parents want you to babysit and say you regret you cannot make it. It seems though you are too scared to be home alone for good reason. I would think staying with them would be a good option.
Say this to him "I am happy to join you. I do have a concern though about your kids not treating me fairly. I would like it if you talk to them. Other than that I am happy to go." Odds are he has no idea how they treat you when he is not around.

I'm giving you a one because the first part, "This sounds made up" it isn't O.K? I wouldn't waste my time putting fake info on a question when I could have better things to do than that. Also, you didn't help me at all. I'm not a timewaster. I haven't been on advicenators in a while and I only come on here when I have a problem and need advice or if I want to answer questions. This mans wife died of cancer... she got sick in November of last year and died Friday, May 13. His mom was about 87 and died of old age in December of last year. His dog died trying to escape a thunder storm. I wouldn't joke about my mom's best friend dying and their dog and his mom. I'm not like that. You can say it can't happen but it did so I'm telling the truth. You have no idea who I am. I came on here looking for someone to go to for help on this. Since you didn't help. I don't need this! You are an incompetent, immature, and ignorant person for thinking that three loved ones can't die in a year! What an idiot! I'm out of here. Enjoy your life being the person that you are, Rude, and annoying. Go to Hell!
