i get blamed for everything.


Question Posted Thursday June 29 2006, 11:16 pm

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?

I guess its hard being the middle child in your family... How about you and your Mom go on day trips together i duno erm how about the cinemas or huge shopping spries? Just so you and your mom and have some quality time together without no annoying brother or sisters! Good Luck

Wow! Story of my life! Spoiled rotten little *brother* (8) does all these crappy things. And guess who gets blamed?! Me!! My older brother is off at his fancy private school all the time and i am stuck baby-sitting *and not getting paid, don't you know.* And yet, everytime something bad happens, he falls and gets a bad cut, touches the hot stove and burns his hand, calls mommy-dearest cuz im being a meanie head, I get in trouble.

And I dont have a good relationship with my mom. I dont know why--- I just lost all trust in her. *long story!! I wont go into it. trust me, u dont want me to!* So I talk to my little brother about it. All the time. And sure, he is a little person and spoiled, but when he really sees that if he doesnt cut the crap, Im going to explode, he quiets down and is a good little boy!! So if your not good with talkin to your mom, talk to your sister. In a serious tone, be like, it can't be this way. You can't be acting like this when only me and you are home. Got that?! And hopefully it will work!!

Hope this helps!!

its always tough to be the middle child esspecially now that your growing up
maybe your mom thinks that you could take on a little more responsability and having a smaller sibling is always tough but you have to remember that you will be given responsabilities and your sister is just one of them
just keep calm and try to avoid a fight w/ your mom
hope this helped in any way
but im just 14 too but age is just a number

Girl, i am in the same situation...however my mom and i are still pretty close. The most you can do is to start talking to her more about how you feel and let her in on your life...it would make her feel more welcoming and useful.

Trust me i know. Im the middle too. Let me just say, you are older than her. Sometimes part of growing up is taking responsibility for things even wen its not your fault. But try talking to your mom...WAIT! This works...i swear. Go up to her and say mom i need to talk...its important. Tell her in a calm manner how you feel about getting blamed. If you do it calmly, she will relize that you are a muture teenager. Dont yell.Its the worst. And dont think ur parents dont know whats going on..sure they yelled at you but if you step up and say im sorry i should have been watching her, they will relize how responsible you are...and then they wont always blame you for it...hoped i helped!

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.
