Having trouble getting my sister to babysit?

Question

Okay so my sister is 10 years older than me and has 4 kids of her own. I watch her kids frequently for her so she can take her older child out or take the younger kids out. I never have a problem watching them. However when I ask her to watch my kids she always has an excuse. Usually it is a real stupid one, like she has to take a bath, or she has to go to the store. I NEVER ask her because there is always a stupid response. I asked her to watch them in a few weeks because I am going out of town, something I haven't done without kids in over 2 years, and my husband has to work. She of course can't because she has to go to the store. I do not know what to say to her without just totally going off.

A side note, she feels that it is MY children that are always causing trouble with they all get together. I have 3 kids, she has 4. The real funny thing is usually it is her kids breaking stuff at my house & her kids that are crazy at their house when mine come over.

Answer 1

then just stop watching her kids and see how she like it if i were u i would go off on her

Answer 2

If I were you I would most likely just tell her to quit with the ridiculous excuse and be honest about why she doesn't want to them them.  I would respect her much more if she was honest instead of acting like a little kid afraid of telling the truth.

Answer 3

Then don't watch her kids....seriously. Tell her no anytime she asks. If she wants to know why, tell her. Make sure you stick to it. Don't let her try to talk you into watching her kids either. Say no and hang up the phone.

Answer 4

Make up silly excuses not to watch her children!!!!!!!!!!

Find someone who is reliable to watch your children.
