Little cousin problems!!
My little 3 year old cousin lives with me and every weekend on Saturday and sometimes Friday i have to babysit from 6 to whenever his mom comes home. My mom is the one that is supposed to babysit but she likes to get out the house on the weekends to. His mom will not even offer to pay and i do this every weekend. And i dont ever come out and tell her she should pay me but i've hinted to it before. And we keep him everyday when she works and she never offers to pay any of us. And im tired of doin this on the weekend when i want to hang out with friends to.I love babysitting and i love my little cousin but i cant do this all the time. I buy him food and when i go riding on the weekends i get him something to eat and drink at the store and all that stuff. And as some of you may know its hard to keep a 3 year old sometimes. and i dunno what to do about it!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
wow!
every weekend??? i'm assuming this is your auntie...maybe shes so used to you watching your child she forgets that you have a life! i can understand if she asked like maybe once in awhile...maybe she trusts you alot whatever the case, speak up! tell your mom how you feel about this even your auntie! and if she still needs a babysitter charge! it may not work in the beging but when shes needs a babysitter like especially if she is not at work like if your aunt is going to go "out" tell her that if shes going out to have fun i should get paid! and the times hen you wanted to go with your friends...you should tell her that hey i can't watch your son today! its not your problem! well ok maybe it is but you know you need a break!
hope it helped!

Its good that you help out with your cousin. you cant always expect to get somethin in return. what you need to do is just talk to your aunt and tell her that you would like to have more freedom to be with your friends and have fun and just be a teenager. If you dont like that and are just lookn for away to see your friends more maybe just have them come over and help you.
hope I helped

refuse to watch him until your paid.
i know that sounds mean. but dont say it in a mean way. when they tell you to watch him just say no and then be like ill watch him when i start getting paid i wanna go out with my friends like real teenagers do. its not your child and you shouldnt have to raise it.

Confront your mom and his mom.. Tell them that you need time to yourself.. that you love watching him.. but you need time to hang out with your friends... and tell them when you do watch him.. since you buy him things you should be payed.. just be confident and tell them what you think about the situation!
I hope I helped,
