My boyfriend's sister verbally abuses me and then asks me to babysit so I don't want to do it. Should I do it anyway?
She knows her son will be looked after with loving care while with me so she asks me to babysit but then calls me names (such as "ecentric" and "classy but snobby" ...so she basically gives me backhanded compliments all the time). I don't want her to lose her job or for her son to be looked after by a freakazoid but I also don't want to do any favors for a person who doesn't respect me. What should I do?

I would tell her that she would be much better off finding someone that is NOT classy but snobby, and eccentric. You know how dangerous that can be...

say, "i don't know - i might be too eccentric to do a good job. do you really want someone snobby taking care of your kid?" throw her words back every single time she asks. she may be shamed into at least apologizing and/or thinking twice next time.

SAY NO AND TELL HER WHY.
Don't be stupid, or she will treat you like your stupid.

Well, maybe you should be charging her for your services. Not doing her a favour. At least, if she's going to call you names, she can pay for the privilege.

The next time she abuses you verbally, tell her " I know you're just kidding but, your son thinks it's OK to say the same things to me and I'm sure you don't want him growing up to disrespect women, do you "?

She's probably trying to set you up if she doesn't respect you. She might do something evil like give her son a lot of caffeine so he's bouncing off the walls and set up a hidden nanny cam so when you've had enough and give him a calm down spankin she'll show the video to your family so they all hate you like she does.

at the next time she gives a ****** comment point out something of hers and see how she feels... or maybe tell her when you say those things it really hurts me... If she doesnt acknologe your feelings in a nice way dont do favors then shell see your more than a classy but snobby girl...I'm not saying you are of course...
I use to do stuff for everyone but if I needed help no one wanted to help me... So I stopped doing it when my mom passed away a lot more things came to mind of how she said they all use me all the time... so I stopped and moved off an hour away... then think bad of me for leaving but dam* all I am is a pawn to do everything they need to be done... when I go back home instantly my cousin wanted me to tote her wet laundry from her house down to her mother... I said no and girl it felt great...... try it you might like it...
