    No more of this, I have no activities for them to do. I was just going to watch trashy tv and snuggle up.

    I'm going to tell her that she can't use me and this situation won't be happening again!
  • Well actually Sis we're having the girls around for a 50 Shades of Gray / Ann Summers Party / the boyfriend's bringing his mates around for strip poker
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    Work out the local babysitting rate for new years eve and ask her for the appropriate money. It may shock her and stop taking you for granted
    I was seriously thinking of billing her for the food. (I know they are my neices but its not right not giving them dinner at hime) but it'll be my neices that suffer in some way.

    Sorry to hear that - although the key was 'elder' sister. I'm sure this isn't the first time she's imposed upon you. So your good nature is your own worst enemy!

    That said, play it to your advantage, in that she 'owes' you when you need assistance. The last thing you want is to cause a rift - so keep it good humoured, but unless you get reasonable notice a refusal is more likely.

    Are they staying over with you tonight OP? If so I'd be knocking your sister up at 7am tomorrow morning very loudly to hand them back. Nice and bright and early!!

    And it looks like we made it once again
    Yes it looks like we made it to the end

    She usually takes them round to my younger sister, I'm generally seen as the last resort. Last time they were here, My sister told them to ignore my boyfriend!

    I think (she hasn't said she will collect them) she expects me to drop them off tomorrow!

    Yeah, they are staying over. Even though I'm angry I'd not want my neices home alone!

    I'd phone her up & tell her to get her sorry behind back, pick up the kids or you'll report her, that's not on in any way shape or form!

    Give them lots of sugar, keep them up late and drop them round dead early in the morning!
