 Your brother is being unsympathetic and selfish , asking this of you when you are taking time off of work to straighten out your head and heal yourself. This does not include being his built in babysitter just because your not " doing " anything because your doing something thats more important than anything and thats focusing on you and your personal health and wellness. You have every right to say NO...and worry about your fight and strengthening yourself. Your brother is taking advantage and does not have your best interests at heart. Don't let him take YOUR time to heal and turn you into daycare center ala sister. You must do this for yourself...it starts with you. Goodluck and please please stand up and say No !

wow. you've got to be kidding. i cannot believe your brother would ask you to watch those kids! there is no way you should become a babysitter. and don't you dare feel guilty about it!!!  i spent my whole life doing things i didn't want to do for my mother and brother and it resulted in my ocd coming to life. so don't do it. this IS the time for you to be selfish and only think about yourself. i guess your brother doesn't realize what a negative impact this will have on your recovery. so set him straight and DO NOT feel guilty. remember that ocd loves it when we feel guilty.
