I had another incident with my little sister tonight. I had just got done changing her son's diaper and he got up and ran towards the kitchen. I put my hand on his little shoulder to stop him. In my mind, I saw him running towards her while she was carrying a pot of boiling water. He screamed and started crying. My little sister, who was cooking in the kitchen, turned around and screamed "what happened?" I told her that was trying to stop him from getting into the kitchen, but she didn't believe me. When my dad came in a few minutes later, she told him that "nobody was watching him and he got hurt."

He runs around so fast that it is hard for me to catch him sometimes when he is about to fall or hurt himself. It seems like if he starts crying while he is in my care, she comes in and accuses me of not watching him carefully enough. I'm afraid she's going to call the police on me and have me put in prison. I didn't really want kids before, but now I know I don't want kids.

I wrote a letter to give her in the event of my dad's death telling her I will be no longer responsible for caring for her son, that I will live my own life with pride. I put it in a private place for when the time comes.

I am fed up with being taken advantage of and not being able to do things to help myself and further my interests. I just want to tell my little sister to f**k off. She doesn't care about me and has never done anything for me, I'm doing everything for her. I'm tired of her dramatics and her accusations.

I'm evil for doing this.

This above, I would not do.

What I would do is, next time she asks you to watch him, I would just tell her no. If she asks why, I would just tell her because she doesn't like the way you watch him and she always assumes irresponsibility on your part and you're tired of her accusations and the way she treats you.

She should state this calmly.

you're not evil. your sister is, if anyone is. you're helping her and all she can do is try to make you feel bad. are you the family scapegoat by any chance? you know, where everyone blames you for everything?

I agree with Chronos...as usual :D
but yes when you are calm, just let her know that you are not responcible for her child anymore... if she needs a babysitter, then she needs to hire one.
