Constantly Babysitting


Question Posted Thursday March 17 2011, 11:36 am

My mom and dad both work long hours during the day so until they get home I know I'm expected to watch my 3 sisters. I don't complain about that BUT, even when my dad is home hes up in his room doing whatever. And my mom is always out running errands or something. Or doing paperwork. So basically I am babysitting.. ALL THE TIME. And on-top of all of this even when I don't have to babysit, and I want to go to a friends house, my mom wont let me go. I have no freedom and WAY too many responsibilities. I have considered running away so many times before. I mean I'm there sister, not there mom. Help me. ):

The only way for your parents to know how you feel is to tell them. Have you ever written them a letter? With your feelings written down, it gives you the chance to share your point of view without your parents interrupting. Sometimes parents forget that they can be in the wrong too, so try not to be too harsh on them.

You should talk to them about it but in a very respectful manner. You can't really do much since they are your parents and you might really appreciate the time you're spending with them sooner or later. It also will give you great experience when you have a kid of your own. Maybe you should go out and get a job of you're choosing. That way when they want you to babysit, you can tell them you have to go to work.
