I don't want to babysit for my parents. I'm the oldest (22) I have 7 siblings. They say "You live here, u gotta pitch in". What should I do?

Attempt to have a respectful conversation with your parents. Acknowledge that you are willing to contribute, and if it isn’t with babysitting, have some other ideas over ways that you can, or do, contribute. For instance, I’d you already handle laundry or drive your siblings to activities, point these things out. Be open and honest about why you do not want to babysit. Ask them to be specific about what they expect from you, and try to listen openly without becoming defensive. When you approach your parents in this way, you are opening the door to compromise. Hopefully you reach a resolution where both you and your parents are satisfied.

You are of legal age but you still live under your parents roof. It makes sense that they would want you to help out in that way. It could be worse, they could be forcing you to pay rent. You are dependent on them even though you are of legal age, if you're not paying rent then it's only fair that you contribute in other ways. If you don't want to babysit or help around the house, consider suggesting paying them rent to live there. Or you could solve the problem altogether, make sure you have a decent paying job and move out completely. There are apartment complexes everywhere.

It is fair to ask for a break if you need one as you have your own life to live. It may also be true that your family needs you so it could help to find out if you can arrive at a mutually satisfying agreement together by discussing your concerns with them. I find that communication such a door opener when it comes to getting what we want and also finding out how we can live peacefully with the people we care about. I hope my two cents can help in some way and I would love to know what you decided to do and how things worked out. All the best!
