If you're a teenager, studying at school or college, etc, how much responsibility should you have over a baby sibling?
From my personal point of view; I am a brother to a two year old little baby. Now I love my little brother very much, and upon news of his upcoming arrival, I was thrilled, but less thinking about how it may affect me. At this stage I was 15, going into my final year to study GCSE's. So I had alot of work incoming plus, a new baby brother.
2 years on to life now at this current moment in time, I am studying A levels at college, and preparing to go into my second and final year, whilst also having a part time job.
Now during GCSE's I maybe did not have as much work as I do now, and could find some spare time to help around with my little brother, as well as having a life out side of school and home and my school work. Currently at college, I am head high with work and need free time to relax away from all this work. However my parents have decided to become dependent on my help with my baby brother. I honestly wouldn't mind doing anything for the guy, but I'm scared of perhaps putting my self in a bad situation with my college and part time work.
I personally think that I shouldn't be relied on, and have a choice if I want to help or not. College is hard enough for me and others like me without any more work, so I think it is right to have the choice.

Parents wanted a baby, not me, so they can't force you to do things fr them and the baby.
HOWEVER.
You SHOULD help for the care, because you'd be an asshole if you didn't.
