Get a message yesterday on my email from my sister stating she needs babysitting last night because she is attending a show with a friend. Ok, she didn't know before now that she was going to a show. Sister never plans ahead driving me crazy stopping my life to help her constantly. I even developed the habit of yelling "no more babysitting" everytime the phone rings. I visited my niece and nephew 4 times last week, they wore my welcome mat out. Just because I'm not busy doesn't mean I want to babysit and run errands for her at the drop of a hat.
Ok, enough complaining. So I email her back saying sure I can babysit and tell her when I will come by. Go out shopping and come back to 2 mesages on my machine. Sister didn't bother to check her email and wants to know if I am coming or not. Call her back and she is not going to the event because she couldn't get anyone to go with her. Alright.
Continue talking how I saw a child laptop with games to teach computers to children, but held back getting an early xmas gift because they watch so much TV and play on the family computer I doubted if they would play on it much. We get into a discussion how her children are dysfunctional when not watching TV or YouTube videos. I don't recall us acting like this and we had TV in color then later a VCR. I know my other nieces were dysfunctional at a house w/out cable and we had to force teach them to play. I will always remember a niece asking what does she do with a doll. They see toys on these videos and want them, but they don't play with the toys they have already. Niece and nephew interrupt the conversation so we end the call.
I have plenty time for xmas shopping.
