My Baby Cousin

She comes every single week ever since she was about 9 months old. She's real cute and fun to play with but recently, im starting to find her an irritant. My parents overly pamper her and always call her things like "my baby." Creeps me out sometimes because I think that my baby cousin, Hazel, should be spending more time with her own parents. True, she only spends the weekends over at my house, but hey, weekends are for bonding periods with your own family right? My parents tried to reason with me by saying that her parents cannot occupy her whenever it's the weekends cause of work, or other reasons. But is this what my parents want? Every single weekend, do they want Hazel over? It might seem like they're okay with it now but what about when Hazel grows older and less fun? Do they expect her to keep on coming over?

And another thing, my parents often tell me to do things for her because when we bring her over, we should all take care of her. Even now, im babysitting her. I never asked for her to be here. And they bring her over every single week and expect me to do things for her. Go to the car and grab a balloon for her, babysit her, try and put her to sleep, etc. Weekends are supposed to be my day off, yet every weekend, i have to take time off to take care of her. I understand that my parents like her to be here and most of the time, i try to be accommodating to her. Yet sometimes, i wish she wouldn't come every single week. Sigh... guess ill have to try to bear with her...
