[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the posts in this thread point to why people have so little family support and no one to call in a time of need.

So many here are against even doing a favor to help out your brother. Helping isn't supposed to be about what is in it for me. Looking after a couple kids for a couple hours a day is not the insanely difficult task many are trying to make it out to be. I have helped my sister out a few times with her kids and it really isn't a big deal unless you make it one. Obviously in OPs case it is all a HUGE deal. I don't even get why she is entertaining going. Just say no, I don't want to help out.

Makes me very grateful for my own family.[/quote]

Who is saying that?  OP was willing to help-- note she is a MOM of a 4 year old, so not like a single, childless sister/aunt coming to help-- but you shouldn't treat family like hired help.  I would be really embarrassed if asked a family member to come out to help me for a week and provide free child care, and then asked them to take a 6am flight with a layover (with a KID).[/quote]
