Next time sis asks you to babysit say no.[/quote]
NO, the opposite.

OP, the moms here will tell you, school starts up and it's overwhelming.  So you get invited by HELPING--by taking things off their plate.  Drive the kids to the basketball game. Bring over dinner; do dishes.  Babysit the kids and give them a date night.

That's it.  I'm just cutting through all the fat here and saying, bottom line, make it easier for them when you are around, and it becomes easy to say YES to include you.  Earn your way in.[/quote]

Exactly!
The pp you quoted who said daddy no to babysitting is totally clueless.

Don't be a burden on your sister as one more mouth to feed, one more person to entertain, one more person to clean up after, make yourself helpful to them.

Because as it stands, it sounds like you want your sister to give and give and give, while you take and take and take, but don't really give anything back to her...

Make yourself indispensable to her.
