taken advantage of...
My mom and brothers won't stop taking advantage of me! It drives me insane. For example, my mom ALWAYS makes me babysit. She doesn't even ask me if i will, but says "hey i'm leaving now" and i get stuck watching my 2 little brothers. It's not that i mind so much to do it, but i'm tired of her just assuming i will AND not paying me or anything. It's stupid that I have to miss all of my plans while my older brother goes wherever he wants whenever he wants. How do i stop this??? I already talked to her about it a few times, but today, i woke up and there was a note saying she was at work and won't be back until this evening. So now, i'm stuck at my house (in the middle of nowhere) with nothing to do! this needs to stop.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Daycare would cost at the very least $200 per week for your 2 brothers.
Maybe she can't afford daycare so needs your help? (daycare is costly)
Maybe she wants to be able to have extra cash so she has money to give you when you are allowed to go do your own thing? (bonus)
Maybe between you and your older brother, she sees you as being the most responsible to leave home with the kids? (bonus)
You need to remember that she provides for you food, shelter, clothes, cell phones, computers, etc. so it's really not like you are working for nothing. No, Mom doesn't owe you a living like most kids like to believe.
Yes, you do deserve to have a little cash thrown your way for being such a helping, responsible child, so ask her about allowing you X amount of weekly pay, but try not to be too greedy about it- work out a fair deal with her.

Sit her down as soon as possible. Tell her these things:
<p>
1. You love your brothers, but you need some time for you.
2. Maybe she could give you an allowence for doing this.
3. Share the sitting time with your older brother.
4. Let you know ahead of time for when you have to watch the little bros.</p>
<p>She'll most likely try to accomidate to you, if she doesnt, tell her again until you get </p>
