Family problems

I had to babysit my sister because my parents went out to Toronto last night and drank. They've been out since Thursday! What can I do to help myself feel better about this?

whatds the wrong thing in what they're doinn'?
they're just havin' fun together!!

 
Remind yourself that YOU are part of a family unit and that you are doing your part for the success of the family.

At times you may think you are being used. That's not really the case. You are being called upon to help in the survivability of the family.

It's also part of the learning experience. It helps you build your self-esteem and develop responsibility recognitions as you are growing into adulthood.

Well, maybe they're just having fun and caitlyn needs to relax, but actually her question worried me a bit. It depends on what she means. Maybe she does have a point.

So, how long have they been out? I couldn't quite work it out from what you said, caitlyn.

How old is your sister? What sort of things do you have to do for her?

The point is, older kids are a great help babysitting, and can help a couple keep their relationship alive by 'having a bit of fun', as anna_13 says. But I've also known two adults who went away for a weekend leaving their twelve year old son (a member of my youth group) in charge of his little brother and sister. So there's helpful babysitting and there's short-term abandonment. Realistically, which one is happening to you, x0x_caitlyn_x0x ?

I Can see that your worried that there going out leaving you in full responsibility of your younger sister, But you have to think about the positives of this, You can bond with your sister, Find something you would both like to do, Painting each others nails.
However if you dont get along to well with your sis, peraphs invite some girl mates over to help you look after her It always helps having extra hands!
If Your still upset about your parents leaving you for such a long time, Sit down and speak to them, tell them how you feel, and you dont think its very fair leaving you on your own for to long, If they keep going off for to long, You need to put your foot down and tell them you cant keep babysitting your sister, you need some time to spend with your friends not just your sister.

I hope this may of helped you and you get this problem resolved GoodLuck! x

talk to your parents when they get back and tell them they need to start takin responsiblity as parents and not leaving you with their dirty work
