[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I have a feeling that many of these posters lack any empathy and don't understand what it means to have less than a ton of money. I have a feeling your daughter doesn't have a car...

Why is she refusing? I can see why she is refusing to have her day be completely filled with childcare at the expense of being a teen.  I know my kid often meets his friends after school to study or hang.  He belongs to a club.  All that would have to go if he were stuck babysitting.

Also, I would investigate how her siblings behave to her when you are out of sight. I had driving responsibilities for my brother.  He knew I couldn't throw him out of the car or  ground him if he behaved like a little shit, so he did.  My mom gave me all the responsibility with no control.  It sucked.

So yeah, it is clear your family needs her to step up. I'd try to talk to her about making sure there isn't more going on.

Also, do her sisters really need babysitting? Are they really that young?

Of course, she may also be just awful, but I'll leave it to the other posters to discuss that possibility.[/quote]

Real mom would have give some more details, this is a petulant kid posting.[/quote]
