a little backstory, i'm 19 almost 20 and for 15 years of my life my mom was a drug addict and was in and out of jail. i lived with my grandmother my entire life up until i was 16 because my mom was a little over a year clean and moved in with us.
she became pregnant with my brother a few months after she got clean and when she moved up here things took a wrong turn with daycare. there was a 3 year long waitlist, so i had to start watching him. i finished out my two years of high school watching him after school everyday and when i turned 18 i started a pretty serious job working in vet med.
as time progressed i've only watched him longer and longer and now it's become 7 days a week. she's a single parent and working a lot to pay for everything. she doesn't make me pay rent, i do mainly pay for my groceries and for my pets though. she pays me 100 dollars every two weeks for watching him. saturdays are the only day i get to sleep in and now without asking me has told her job she can work at 8am and close at 10pm.
i'm tired of doing this every single day. my brother most likely has autism and i have diagnosed adhd and we clash a lot especially with the age difference. she buys him a crazy amount of toys because she "feels bad she's never around" which has ultimately made him think he deserves one every single day. despite my efforts to tell her the dangers of youtube, she continuously keeps giving it to him. she took my old phone and practically made it his, he's ONLY FOUR and has his own phone.
i'm almost 20 now, my bf does military work and as a second job works as a mechanic, im in vet med and i want to go to college to get my tech license. i don't even have a drivers license or a permit because ive spent all of my time watching my brother.
AITA for wanting to tell her that i don't want to watch him anymore
Please wait...
