I need the money


Question Posted Monday January 31 2005, 9:58 am

ok it all started one saturday when my moms friend neede a babysitter! I am grounded and i am not allowed to leave the house. But i really neede the money. MY lil sister got offered to babysit the next Saturday. She is only 10 and i am 15. I was soooo mad at her 4 doin that to me. She made a face at me like she was proud that i didn't get to babysit. Should i hate her and ignore her? I needed the money to raise for a car. I have always wanted a car. should i try and be as rude as possible or just get over it. Since my sister gets $50.00 for 5 hours! Please help me!

Ok,for one thing i think 10 is too young to babysit,unless your mature but if she acts like that then she isnt ready to babysit for sure.If i were you i would tell your parents that you really need the money right now and its not like your gonna blow it on a goochy pair of highheeled flipflop boots or something like that,your saving for your future.And ask them if they feel your sister is really mature enough to have the life of a human being in her hands,and tell them how smug she was,if that doesnt work then im afraid your parents like her better, ONLY JOKING,but seriously make sure they know how responsible you are and the money is for a good cause i mean what could your sister be doing with the money thats better than saving for the future?

well i think your sister is way to young to babysit but what i would do is if the mom calls tell her your sister cant babysit but ur available i no its mean but you gotta do wat you gotta do or you could tell her that you really could use the money over your sister and if u could do it for a while to help pay for a car or if you could come help you sister

you're just going to have to get over it, it's not your sister's fault that you got grounded, it's yours there will be other jobs that your sister can't have, why not try looking for one of those?

Forgive her, don't hold a grudge, it's a waste of emotion, tell her that it made you mad and she will have many more opportunities to babysit, then be done with it, you'll feel better.

Your sister is not at fault here, so I'd recommend leaving her out of it... afterall, she is only 10, and you should expect her to act the way she did.

However, you are 15. To dish it back to your sister like an angry and immature person would only show your parents that you are not ready to even think about having a car.

If you're grounded, there must be a reason, and as much as it sucks, you have to take the punishment and move on.

Personally, I think it is stupid that you were not allowed to babysit - an opportunity to work like that should allow the punishment to be set aside, as babysitting shows resonsibility and maturity, which I would hope are goals of yours, especially if you are eyeing a car in the future (since cars cost money, the gas costs money, and the insurance costs money).

If I were you, I'd try to calmly voice your disappoinment with your parent's decision to not allow you to babysit, and explain why you feel that way. Again, the goal here is to do this in a calm and level-headed manner.
