Answer 1

I know how you feel, but you should respect your mum's wishes.   You should spend all your time having fun right now and enjoying life.  Work will come later.

Answer 2

you have your job at home... sorry.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Don't give your mom som slack.  Help her out with your brother.  See, let me school you a little bit.  If you help your mom out, what if she buys you the car at 16?  See you don't know what she is thinking.  As a brother you should protect him, and if she asks you to watch him, what harm is it?  You will have plenty of time in your life to work and socialize.  She needs you and you are giving her slack.  

You will understand when you are a grown man.  Please don't give your mom trouble about working.  You will have plenty of time.

Answer 5

charge her seriously watching your little bro isn't your responsibility. She is his mother she needs to figure something else out. See I can't stand that c**p when parents have older children watch the youngsters.

Now it's ok to do so but when it takes away from teenagers being able to be a teen and what they want to do like in your case get a job, that's over stepping the bounderies on your mothers part. I been in your shoes and I didn't mind watching a younger kid but it's not our job as teenagers to watch kids all the time. See what I'm saying?

Answer 6

Watch ur little brother. Seriously, I had to drag my bro to my babysitting jobs, and I was like a 2nd mom to my bro. Maybe, you could find a job to do when ur mom is at home, or find a job that u could bring ur little bro with u. And I bet, ur bro looks up to u. He watches and listens to what u say around home. Be a good bro and teach him.
