[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like they feel uncomfortable with you babysitting. You mention that they don't think highly of your successes. Is it possible you've made some mistakes in judgement they consider as unsafe to watch their child? I mention this because I have a friend in a similar position. She loves her nephews and wants to help more but she has totaled three cars, gotten in numerous other accidents, and always picks the wrong men as boyfriends. These choices lead some people to believe she wouldn't have good judgement around children, especially children who are too young to speak up. This may not be your situation at all. But perhaps your brother and SIL are looking at an overall picture?[/quote]

Not really. I'm not good at keeping a job, but it's mostly just horrible luck and less my doing. At my last job I got laid off because the boss didn't have enough work to sustain employing me (his only employer). At the job before that the boss closed the company. Also, I'm fat. And I think my SIL has ... not an eating disorder, but disordered thinking about food and bodies, and I know her mother has disordered eating and sister has a flat-out eating disorder. Also, you may not remember but I'm the poster who has horrible psoriasis or eczema and my brother told me they're worried about me being near the baby and it falling into her mouth or something. Which really hurt my feelings, even though I get it. But maybe I'm not the person he should complain to about not having a babysitter.
