I am sicking of being called selfish. My mom has been having problems with my teenage sister and wants me to take in the kid. I won’t do it. First off, I live in another country and am a newlywed. Second, my mom lost custody of my brother and I when we were teenagers. My dad raised us until my brother went to move back in with my mom two years later. Then, my other brother has been bouncing relative to relative. My grandmother has always been there to pick up the slack. How about mom actually raising her kids for once? Why does she always pass them off on other people? She had them and now she has to raise them! I had to care for my sister when I was 9, giving her medicine, getting up with her at night when I had elementary school the next day and taking care of her until I was 15 and then my grandmother took care of her. I am sick of being called selfish for not agreeing to raise another kid.
