What the heck why are my parents pissed at this?

I was told to babysit my little brother, but I didn’t want to so I walked him to our cousins house and let him stay with them. What the’s darn difference between me babysitting him and my cousins babysitting? I don’t know why my parents got mad over it, I had stuff I wanted to do, I mean I could have just left him all alone at home, but no I did a responsible thing and took him to another house.
Because they told YOU to babysit him, not your cousins. When you grow the hell up and have kids, you’ll understand.
You answered your own question. Your parents asked you to watch your brother. Not your cousin. You.
They thought that they could trust you to listen to them and do as they asked. Instead you went behind their backs and did what you wanted to do. Which is not being responsible.
I’m an older sibling too. I have two sisters and a little brother and I know not to go behind my parents backs.
No. The responsible thing would have been to do as you were asked. You passed the buck. Not responsible behavior.
What if your cousins had plans?
Your folks clothe, feed, house, and protect you. You couldn’t even do this one little thing? Weak.
Because you were left the responsibility, not your cousin.
“You had stuff you wanted to do” Tough! You don’t always get what you want, and the soon you learn that, the further you’ll get on in life.
I smell troll but I will bite
Because you were told to do it. The responsibility was given to you and not someone else. Also don’t be so proud that you did not leave him home. If you had they would be even more upset. Life does not revolve around you. Life sometimes is not fair and you don’t get what you want
It’s the fact that your parents gave you a job to do, and you defied their authority by not doing it.
They showed a lot of trust in you to watch their child, yet you told them “I don’t care what you think” by giving the responsibility to another. Do you expect them to be proud of you for disobeying them? Did they say, “Watch your brother”, or “Let your cousins watch your brother”?
How do you expect your parents to trust you now? It’s a sad thing when a parent realizes their child 1) has no respect for them and 2) cannot be trusted. If I were you, I’d go apologize right now. Wouldn’t you want an apology if you gave someone a job to do and they told you, “You know what? No! I have better things to do rather than helping you out.” And what’s worse, think of all the things your parents do for you! From financial support to emotional support, they are there for you more than you realize.
You will do as you are told! lol
I wouldn’t leave my child with someone who did not want to babysit.If you made your feelings known but they left him with you regardless I don’t know why they are annoyed not if you made your feelings clear in the first instance.
Actually, the responsible thing would have been to discuss it with your parents first. Perhaps they have a reason for not wanting the cousin to babysit.
You should have talked to the about it before making that decision.
