I was watching my little cousin at this time and I got in trouble every time my cousin got in trouble by my father or she throws something or she broke something. I had to watch her, watch my little brothers, and clean the house while I had to be in my room because my mother didn’t want me downstairs of her house. My cousin got in trouble by my father because she threw a toy at my brother. My father put my little cousin in a time out on the chair and my little cousin kept trying to get off the chair and my father was yelling at her and telling her that if she didn’t calm down and be quiet her punishment was going to be longer.
The next day, my older sister was telling my mother that my little cousin got in trouble and my mother called me up to her room. She told me why wasn’t I watching my little cousin and that she got in trouble and I didn’t respond to her. My mother told me to run up and down the stairs 25 times and I told her I couldn’t do two things at once and she added my steps to 30 now and I started to run up and down the stairs. As I was running the flight of stairs I was huffing because I am out of shape and overweight and running up the stairs were hurting my chest. I couldn’t hardly breathe and my mother kept adding more and more flights of stairs on me because I was breathing to loudly and I had to do all the way to 56 flights of stairs. After I am done the stairs my mother told me to never talk back to her and I need to watch my younger cousin and if she gets in trouble again, she will punish me too. My older sister was smirking at me because she got me in trouble. My mother then told me to clean my younger brother’s room and once I went into the room, I collapsed onto the floor, trying to breathe. My chest hurt so badly and it was very hard to breathe in. My legs were very sore for three days straight afterwards too and I couldn’t complain about my legs because my mother would punish me for saying something about them.
