Mom is going to kick me out if I don't stay home from school?

all right then. In some states the child is allowed to stay home and care for younger brother and sisters. and a teacher from the school goes to the home of the child with homework and tests and the child continues with their grade level. also thru many catholic and jewish community centers there are programs that help in the care and welfare of the under age children 18 and younger. the grandparent idea is fab, except when transferring schools, not all the educational level are the same nor social settings. getting an outside party to help out is great but just be careful that social welfare does not get involved and separate all the children. Sometimes in dealing with issues like this its not about the kids: lets go to the core of the family and help the parent, parent and get them on their feet. So the family spirit is brought back.

Illegal to keep you off school to be an unpaid babysitter. She's threatened 4 times already. I suggest you go to school and see what happens. Go to grandparents if the worse comes to the worst - but if you get kicked out, who will babysit in your place? If the babysitting job is just for one day because baby is ill and mum has to work, then perhaps you should mind the baby - but if mum thinks it should be a longterm job, then go to school and discuss the matter there.

Staying home with your brother is your mom's responsibility, not yours. Tell the school counselor what's going on and hopefully they'll explain your mom's obligations to her, including the fact that she can't just kick you out -- who does she think will babysit for her then, I wonder.

This is purely irrational. Would you have somewhere to go if this happens? I answered your last question, would your grandparent's place be out of the question? I'd humour her tonight but tomorrow, I'd try to speak to someone in your life that can practically help or advise you.

I hope you can get it sorted, eventually xoxo.

Ask her what the Law says where you live about missing school and parents kicking their children out (assuming you are one). Remind her that if you flunk school you won't be able to earn enough to help her financially in the future.

We need a little more information on the subject, but you need to talk to her, maybe have a third party mediate and help, like a family friend or something.

this makes no sense, she is telling you to stay home to take care of your brother. but then tells you to go to school. I call BS
