Weird conversation

Sister calls me up stating this a social call, just to see how I am doing. That's a first, so wait for her to get around why she "really" is calling. My family does not make "social" phone calls, they only call when want something. Though I think Mom and sister are attempting to appear they are not just using me as usual. Perhaps they feel guilty when I ask "What do want?" early in our conversations.

So we chat on how she would like me babysit all my days off for the next 6 weeks cause she feels she is burdening her babysitter for staying at work longer than normal (yes, teachers work after your kids go home). She used to bring the kids to her school on Saturdays, but nephew can't behave so can't do that anymore. OK, so I'm not allowed a day off cause she can burden me with all her demands. I ask about Mom babysitting (does she not enjoy her grandchildren). Mom doesn't want to drive around the city if she doesn't have to, she rather stay inside in her retirement home all the time. Plus, sister doesn't want to burden Mom (but it's ok to burden me of course). I promise to email all my days off to her. I only tell her my 2 days off next week.

So we chat on my daily routine so she can get to know me. Huh? OK, wake up, get dressed, shower, feed cats, scoop the poop from litterbox, eat breakfast, put on make-up, go to work, come home, and watch TV. When do I get up and how much time do I allow before going to work. Why does she care? Now she wants to know what I do on my computer. Check email, write on blogs, read interesting news items, etc. What does she think I do?
 
Next we chat about niece and boyfriend moving in together asking if they are getting married, what's he like, etc., like I'm suppose to know what's going on inside my niece's head. At least she is not freaking out like when I had a boyfriend overnight once and cried to her husband how I will have sex with somebody I don't love and such trauma will follow. Then we have to compare my disasterous relatonship to My Favorite Martian to my niece's. Brother-in-law didn't like My Favorite Martian thinking he is untrustworthy and weird. I figured that out too.

Then the guilt trips come in of her demand I talk to lonely older relatives I don't care to talk to. She feels so guilty being too busy so I have to make up for it. Whatever. I don't care for conversations from people who cling to me like a life preserver. Do you think there is a reason I don't go out of my way to call them on the phone?

And finally, she ends the phone call cause she is arriving home. Is she talking to me while driving? I send her an email asking not to call me while driving cause I don't want her to have an accident while listening to me jabber on on my boring life.

The weird thing is I babysat her kids yesterday and we could have had this conversation then.
