Am I The Problem?

When I was 14 my parents paid for me to take a babysitting class. It taught cpr, first aid, and basic skills for babysitting. Then around 15 I got my first babysitting job.

I didn't like it. The mom always wanted me to 'help out' after the kid fell asleep. Meaning wash dishes that I didn't dirty, 'tidy up' their living room when it literally was a mess when I got there, and having me help with her business stuff if she was home like filing or helping with mail.

I ALWAYS had to remind her to pay me and how much before I left which was awkward. The last straw was when she called me one day and asked that I sit for her that night, I said that I couldn't because I had orientation for school at 8 the next morning. She said she promised to be back by 10, and not any later and practically begged.

So I said fine. I went over there, the kid fell asleep around 7. So I watched tv.

Then 10 o'clock came, at 10:30 I called her and she didn't answer, I called again at 11 and no answer. She finally showed up at 11:30. 'Oh sorry my friends just wouldn't let me leave, they kept wanting to talk and talk'.

I decided not to babysit for them anymore. Then 6 months later I turned 16 and I got a job at a restaurant that pays WAY better than babysitting did plus I make tips. I have a scheduled time that I get off and I don't have to remind them to pay me.

My dad's friend Ned's wife had a baby a year or 2 ago. Ned asked my dad to ask me if I could babysit on weekends. I said 'I work weekends'.

He was like'well maybe they'll ask ahead of time and you can ask off work'. I said 'no, I'd rather work I'd probably make more money than I would babysitting anyway, and I didn't like babysitting'. My dad was like 'wouldn't most girls your age rather babysit than work?

Just because you had one bad babysitting experience doesn't mean they'll all be like that'. Dad's girlfriend said ' I babysat from when I was your age until I went to college and I loved it'. My dad said something like Ned wanted me to be their sitter because he's known me since I was a kid and trusts me and I should be more willing to help.

Then my dad said 'You're too young to be one of those jerks that only does stuff for the money'. AITA for not wanting to babysit because I'll make more money working?

I (f16) live the majority of the time with my dad. I see my mom, stepdad, and half-siblings (f6) and (m4) 2-3 times a week. I have always gotten the vibe my stepdad didn't like me because I'm not his biological kid but now I'm sure of it.

For a few weeks now my mom and stepdad have been talking about a vacation they want to do labor day weekend. They have done so around me multiple times. A few nights ago I was visiting them and started asking questions about the vacation. When my mom informed me I can't go. I asked why not, you've guys talked about it in front of me you would think that means I'm going or at least invited to go. My stepdad said well it is just a family vacation… which honestly really hurt.

Well, when I went back home to my dad’s I was still really hurt and my dad could see that so he asked what was wrong. I explained the situation and how my stepdad said it was just a family vacation and that's why I couldn't go. My dad was pi**ed and ended up going to my mom's to yell at my mom and stepdad. Now both are mad at me saying they should be allowed to go on vacation with just them and their kids I don't always have to go I'm just being an entitled brat.
