This is one of the few wolves who will growl or hiss, depending on the person i am looking at.
So my niece is spending time over here because her mother is out of state. She is over here instead of at her grandparents to watch my nephew. Instead she feels she is entitled to play D&D for 8 hours (12-8) during the hours she is suppose to be watching him. She waits until 5 minutes before they start to say anything to me after telling me yesterday she was going to watch him for the day.
She is 17 and has a eschewed sense or responsibility. She even had the audacity to say I should watch him since I don't have plans right before she asks if I do have plans.
Seeing as I planned on relaxing without a 5 year old buzzing in my ear all day, I am just going to camp in my room and have him run to her for everything. If she would have said something yesterday when I asked if she was going to be watching him today, I might have been nice about it.
I never agreed to watch him, if my brother was not borrowing my car I would have left already.
Under normal circumstances if something important comes up I will offer to watch him. If someone who claims to be responsible tries to shove him on me because she didn't have the foresight to make arrangements beforehand I will almost always say no. It does not help that her boyfriend is sitting there trying to justify her actions.
As I see is:
She is suppose to watch him.
She would rather play a game than watch him.
She wants me to watch him without prior knowledge.
As she sees it:
I have nothing better to do.
She should be allowed to play all day with friends.
She did nothing wrong.
As her boyfriend sees it:
she did nothing wrong because she had already planned on playing.

There's a lesson in responsibility for her.
She offered to give me money, but then in turn she would probably turn around and ask her mother to recoupe her losses.
My mom snapped at her earlier because she waited till last minute to say that she had to go out of town to take care of animals.
Mom worked all day and wanted to get to bed, instead she is watching my nephew till he goes to bed.
