I didn't say she should! I do think though it is always easy to make comments about 'bad' kids and 'bad' parents when that can come back to haunt us. So, was giving her the idea that just not babysitting anymore is fine but it is a slippery slope to begin judging other parents and kids especially before you've had to raise your own past baby hood. YOU know because you have. It's not easy. And while there are some crummy parents out there, many do try hard and still struggle. That's all I was saying. But no one should HAVE to babysit for free unless it is a trade off for money, living expenses, etc. Then it is a job like any other. good luck to the poster
That is the thing almost everyone has some issue with their kids. I have my share of problems with my kids with so many how could I not but I deal with my kids and their issues not let other people deal with it cause I want to drink. I don't know what issues she has with these kids or the people they belong to but she should not be guilted into watching the kids because they are not hers

Whose kids are these and are you being paid to babysit? ??
One thing I found out though . . . okay, this is a little superstitious but I bad mouthed someone's kids or their parenting and then I had my own issues with mine and how I handle things.
I try to believe that everyone is doing the best they can and kids are kids and aren't always angels.
but if you don't feel like being a babysitter --- then ask to be taken off duty. good luck

I feel y'all my brother is not talking to me anymore because I won't watch his kids. He has two and wants to get drunk and have me watch them but I can't. I am 34 weeks and on bed rest with five kids of my own. My husband has a hard time keeping up with our kids and helping me. But my brother got hostile abd hit me with my door when I told him to leave my house cause he was drunk and to take his kids because I am not watching them anymore. I can not watch kids when he leaves no formula or diapers. My youngest was breastfed so it is not like I have formula laying around, most of my kids are also potty trained except my youngest and she just runs around in panties most of the time and I don't buy pullups most of the time because we are working on the potty. He just expects me to buy these things for his kids and have it, gets mad when I say that I don't have any stuff for them. It has been over a month that I have not spoke to them and I still have no interest in having any contact. I don't like watching kids for people who don't teach their children to act properly or buy and bring the things they need for the day. Plus me being on bed rest and his kids crying all the time, I can't get up every two seconds to see what's wrong with them. Plus his two yr old don't even go to the table for lunch or come to you to change her diaper, if you call her she will fall to the floor crying or just stand there stareing at you blankly. Like wth teach your kid or stay sober and tend to them.
You are doing the right thing. Why do people think if a relative or friend is pregnant they can just watch their kids for them?
