Q: Okay let me start out by saying that im 13 and the middle child in my family. Well, my mom and me used to get along all the time..like she used to be my best friend and ever since i turned 13 everything my sister (7) does..gets blamed on me. When my sister once called 911 to see what would happen when i was in the shower, the police came to my house when i was babysitting her, and i got blamed for "not watching her." When duh she should know better not to do it. i hate getting blamed for everything. what can i do to help the relationship between me and my mom..and not get blamed for everything?
Well, I am the middle child in my family too, it gets pretty complicated, doesn't it?

Well what I think you need to do is get your showers and everything you need to do before you babysit her because you say that she knows better, but apparently she doesn't. You have to be able to keep your eyes on her at all times and make sure she's not getting you into trouble. Besides, if your sister is hurt or something goes wrong with her, it is technically on you because you are the babysitter.

About your relationship with your mom: Try asking her for just the two of you to go out and do something together. Talk to her more and be a little more open about whats going on in life. If you've got a crush, talk about him with her. OR just let her know that you've been stressed out lately and you feel like things have changed between you both. Sometimes you might find it comforting to let your bad feelings out and she might come around and consider your feelings more.
