Stressful Baby Sitting-UPDATE-AGAIN

OK so my sister's boyfriend quit his job because he supposedly didnt make enough money in the TWO WEEKS he was there. I know she is not going to have the money to pay me for the babysitting i have already done...So i called her last night and told her I need the money for the 2 weeks and since hes not working he can keep the kids. She got angry and started rambling on about her finances..i simply told her that I did the work and she needed to pay me. If hes not working then there is no reason for her to basically "use" me to babysit when she knows she's not going to have the means to pay me every month. So i officially quit my job! YAY!

TO ALL THE LADIES THAT GAVE ME ADVICE: THANK YOU!!!!

So let me get this straight, he quit his job because he didn't make enough because making nothing is SO much better?  Sounds like your sister needs to find a new boyfriend for one!  Good for you for standing up for yourself, but those poor kids have to deal with that.

Yeah thats what i said something is better than nothing! Hes a dead beat that lets his girlfriend do all the working. She gets mad because i have the extra means to do things with my children..well when i have a man that takes care of his responsibilities we can do things like that with our children! I went to college (finished last summer) my husband works and pays all of our expenses be them bills or fun things we want to do. Thats not my fault he doesnt help her in any way!! Im just happy i dont have to mess with it anymore!! She doesnt want anyone telling her how to parent or anything else and yes i feel bad that its the kids that are suffering but the only way she is ever going to be able to do something good for herself is to leave him. And obviously shes not going to. Im just happy im done with the whole thing.
