Painfree babysitting...

How long will a pain free babysitting gig last? Two days. Brother gave Mom the old one-two. Yelling at her because she needs to take Dad to the hospital for tests next week. I warned her he would do this. Where is his wife in all of this? Oh yeah, she goes to work while he does nothing. My parents were so good to her and then she turns around and does nothing to help them. She and Brother deserve each other. Mom doesn't get it, they will continue to take advantage of her, pushing her around. And she's willing to take it.

Only want help when needed...

Brother and his wife asked Mom to babysit the kids. Seems their babysitter is going away for an extended absence. Mom said she would commit for 3 weeks. No mention of payment, no offer, no request. She has to take the bus there or walk. I told her that if brother disrespects her, she should stop immediately. It's all going to explode.

I haven't gone to see Dad in the last few weeks. I've either had to work or we've been really busy. I have a day off owing, maybe I'll take a trip in.
