I have a great idea! When your dad and step mum are out having fun, ask a freind to look after the babies for a few hours, when your parents get back and ask where the babies are say "Iv had enough of them so i put them up for adoption"

or better act all surprised and say "oh I fell asleep for 20mins cos I was so tired with looking after them all the time and revising and everything - left them right there, oops left the front door open as well, where have they gone?" look all wide eyed and innocent. Let them panick for 5 hours possibly going out everywhere looking for them, nocking on neighbours doors calling police.

Then at the end tell them the truth and tell them that is how much you hate and refuse to do this anymore. :cool:

Oh yes, if something happens to the kids in your care, it's legally their fault, not yours.

Or, just sell the ankle biters. Then you can move out and not have to live with that bitch anymore. However, i haven't thought this one through too far so there may be other difficulties. Let me know if it works. Good luck!

Yeah they should be at home more, it is only going to make you more stressed and make your self esteem plummet, at your age you gotta have a life as well, really don't think it when parents work long hours and are never there for their children.

I remember some cases the children calling the babysitter mom.

Wait 'til your step-mum, or dad comes in, even if they are only meant to be home for 5 mins, then say you'ree away out, and bfore than can say anything, get out the door fast. Go, to a friends house, and go out socialising all night. They have no right to give you into trouble when you come home, and if they do, call a child abuse helpline(or at least threaten). This will undoubtedly cause some upset in your family, but it'll throw right in their face what you are going through. If they will not stay at home and look after their own children, then how can they expect you to?

Okay, this is seriously not on. Your parents are on the edge of child abuse here, you're entitled to your own life. Confront them about it. If they do nothing, you should seek outside help. Places like NSPCC and Childline deal with this sort of thing, they can tell you what to do.

You should not run away from your problems. The longer this goes on, the worse it's going to get. They're taking advantage of you.

I agree, yeah. Surely you should be able to contact Social Services or something? I know that sounds drastic, but it's hugely unfair and detrimental to both your life, and those of your siblings... Your parents need to take responsibility - they brought those children into the world and as a consequence, have an obligation until those children reach adulthood, to make sure that they care for them to the best of their abilities. Not by palming them off on a teenager who has more important things to concentrate on. As a 15 year old, I got paid £5 - 7 an hour for babysitting and then it was only 1 or 2 kids who were 6 or older. Plus it was only for 4/5 hours at a time, once per week.
