Dang it I feel so dang used right now. I am on vacation. yep VACATION. which means I shouldn't have to work. Well I got conned by my younger sister to watch her not yet 2 year old son. Ok so she asked at the last minute and this morning i was basically left with him without even a can you. So I figure since I have watched him for 4 days she can watch my three self contained children for a couple hours so I can go out with my mom. The same mom that I haven't seen in four years. The same mom she gets to spend every waking minute with. So I ask her, can you babysit so i can take mom out? know what she said. NO! Can you believe this. I am so dang mad right now I can just flip my lid. How can you just take advantage of someone and not even try to pay them back with a little bit of kindness. My mom begs me not to say or do anything because she has to live with her but dang it. I didn't even get the opportunity to say no I was told here watch him. My husband says I am too nice to begin with and I know he is upset of how I have been treated while home. I thought I was going to get one night with my mom by myself but nope that doesn't look like it is going to happen. Has any of your sisters done this to you? maybe a brother?

Hi friend,
Hang in there girl. I am a great believer in Karma. What goes around comes around.
You have earned your wings and every time you help someone out, you earn more. You will be paid for your kindness in different ways, maybe from different people. But good people get pain in the end.
Hang in there girl, it will happen.
Good luck
Cheryl

Oh yeah......there's one in every family and I have a sister that way. She always needs "favors" but when you need one back she is busy. I wouldn't worry about being too nice...like your hubby says....just stay that way but maybe find some sort of tatic for the next time and tell her no in a nice way...well.....kinda nice but firm! LOL
