Question Posted Friday October 21 2005, 8:40 pm

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!

go to his house, but always stay near him. if he is nice, then you will enjoy being with him, and his kids wont bother you while your near him.

I was looking through your question, and was looking for a part that said, "Oh yeah, and don't advise me to invite my sister over with me to Chuck's house" But, I'm not seeing it. Is this because your sister doesn't mind being home alone? I'm guessing so, but why not have your sister go to Chuck's, and if she doesn't want to, then let her stay at home, and be sure to keep a phone to where she can call you when she needs you or if something comes up. It's basically up to what you want to do, it sounds like you really want to go to Chuck's house though, all kids are tough, and you could just catch up with Chuck if it's that bad, and do not sleep sleep in the same room as Corey, it just isn't right to put you in that position, you'd better find somewhere else to sleep. It just sounds plain uncomfortable. But, you can find your way around this, if you want to stay with your sister, tell Chuck that you have to cancel plans to stay with her. I know that hes had a rough time, but I think a family member is more important than a friend of the family. But, I strongly think that you should convince your sister to go to Chuck's so that you all can be safe and have fun even though the kids can be tough to deal with.

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.
