 Your mom has lost her bearings.Cannot really blame her because
of her b/f.I hope she wakes up quickly that what she is doing is wrong.
I hope she will realize that she has placed a lot of
responsibilities on your young shoulders.
If you cannot take it anymore,please seek help.

You are like the home alone kid.
If you really cannot stand any more, you should call 911
or the police.They will contact the social worker to look into your case.

 Honey, this is just not right. There is no way she should leave you alone and two hours away just to spend the night with her boyfriend. Do you have any family that could talk to her and make her see sense.

reader, anonymous, writes (27 March 2008): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionwell, i got out of school and had a text from my mom saying when i get home the babysitter will drop my sister off.
my mom i guess had to work late.
well, she would have got off at 5.
but she said that she is going to go have a beer and should be home around 6:15.
well, lucky for me- my sister fell asleep.
so, i was going to tell her.
but i will just end up yelling.
then... i texted her to see if my friend could stay saturday night...
she said yes but shes staying at her boyfriends.
two hours away.

Oh! I wanted to cry when I saw your post.
Your Mum is neglecting the both of you darling. There is no-way that you should be left to look after a two year old baby all the time. What about your school work is it not being efected.
Sit your mum down when she gets in from work and tell her you cannot do this anymore, becuase you do need a life of your own. Its fine to help your mum, but she is using you to look after her child. Its HER responsability not yours.
XXXXX
Hope you can sort this out

I am very sorry your mom abdicated her responsibility of your sister to you.
It is very sad when she makes you fully responsible for your sister.
You need to find a suitable time to talk with your mom about it.
Tell her that you need help looking after your little sis.
Try your best to understand your mom.
If she is on the computer for too long ,
she may neglect your little sisters welfare.
This is a form of child abuse.

hello there, your right its too much for any teenager too handle, and your right you mum does probably work hard at work, but she needs to realise you have to attend school and concetrate for exams and be able to go out socializing....you need to tell her excactly what you feeling, mention that your under pressure at school for homework and express to her that you have a life to and hopefully can live it, explain that she doesnt need to sleep all day just an hour or something and you will watch the 2 year old for that time only because you want to go out and have homework.....im sure she will realize that your too young too handle the stress and you will sort it out between yourselfs you just need to build the confidence to say this to her xx
good luck
