[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think you could use your time babysitting to do your homework.  Your neice could draw or do stickers.  Win-win. [/quote]

+1 or quit.[/quote]
I’m not able to do homework between 3–6 pm because I struggle to stay awake, have very low energy, and often get bad headaches, so I can’t concentrate well. I’m required to babysit during that time—my sister expects me to watch her—so it’s not something I can’t quit.[/quote]

What do you owe your sister? Do you live with her?[/quote]
She’s my half-sister (33), and we don’t live together. She goes to our dad, and asks him to make me babysit, so I end up having to do it. She works from home on Tuesdays/Thursdays, and sometimes does other things, like goes to events, so she doesn’t work at her office.[/quote]

Where's your mom in this?

Your sister and Dad suck.  This is not a reasonable ask. [/quote]
My mom travels frequently  and believes that if I don’t want to babysit, I shouldn’t have to. However, she also thinks that three hours isn’t a significant amount of time and expects me to follow what my Dad says.[/quote]
