Babysitting *rant*
It seems that I'm going back to five days a week for babysitting. Yes, it's my sister's kid but still...
Last time we were doing five days a week we were pretty much begging to quit, (my sister and I and occasionally my brother) and the only way we were given a break was if the girl's dad decided to babysit instead. Which for the last three weeks was two days out of those five days that my sister worked, but now? The fact that he just got fired from his job just yesterday and we will be watching her all the time now, it sort of stings. Especially since that if he isn't working, he can actually help us out!
I love my niece and I'm glad that we'll be able to help out more, but when I get a job (soon, hopefully), what's going to happen? My sister said daycare. Uh oh, that will be a disaster! She hates us leaving, she hates leaving except to go to her dad's house and the park, what will we do? She isn't going to like that at all!
I almost think I'll be stuck watching her forever.
Another thing that ticks me off: on the dad's side of the family, all of them pitch in to babysit while it's just half of us over on this side. I mean, seriously? I am a bit annoyed also that people think we have oodles of free time just because we don't have a job and any kids. I love that I can help out, but when you're watching her twice as much as the parents, well...
They are great parents, I just wish that it didn't fall on me to babysit her all the time. Especially since last time I had to beg my sister to get the dad to babysit, and that was only because of the fact that I had class homework I needed to finish. I guess "free time" is nonexistent at this point.
I feel like I'm being used...
And I thought I would have a relaxing summer! But I can't wait for classes to start again!
