Why is it just because I don't have kids...

That everyone feels that I can drop my life and just babysit their children.  I have babysat my nieces and nephews EVERY weekend for like a month.  And not just the weekend, during the week too.  I love my nieces and nephews and my sister in law and sister to death but sometimes I just don't want to babysit your child.  It's really really annoying!!!! 

Thanks for letting me vent....vent over..

Not trying to be rude at all, but you need to tell your SIL and sister that you have had enough. They can't possibly know you don't want to babysit if you don't tell them. I had a hard time with this too, because I love babies so much I would always say yes when ever any friends asked me to watch their little ones. It is hard to draw the line, but I had to set up a limit for myself. Example- Will not babysit more than 1 day a weekend, and will not babysit unless DH already has something planned (golf, tennis, work, etc)

Sounds like you need a break.  Tell them you aren't available.  And do something for yourself instead.

Thanks everyone...I babysat and I'm back.  Hopefully I won't be asked again this week...if so, I might just have to be super busy!!!!  LOL!!!
