What is the word for something that you have to do (mainly because someone is expecting you to do), even though you don’t want to do it, but you still do it. In other words, doing something that you are not interested in doing.

Example: Jenny hates babysitting her niece, but she has to do it for the sake of her sister and the love she has for her niece.

Perhaps you are thinking of an «obligation.»

See the definition at dictionary.com (link direct to word entry).

1) something by which a person is bound or obliged to do certain things, and which arises out of a sense of duty or results from custom, law, etc.

I think the words burden and onus might be what you’re looking for. In particular, they both have the sense of a responsibility which is unwanted.

burden: that which is borne with difficulty; obligation; onus

onus: a difficult or disagreeable obligation, task, burden, etc.

I would call that a duty.

Duty doesn’t necessarily carry the connotation of something you don’t want to do, but it isn’t usually used to describe something that you’re excited about doing, but rather something that you need to do due to an external impetus.

From Merriam-Webster:

2 a: obligatory tasks, conduct, service, or functions that arise from one’s position (as in life or in a group)

3 a: a moral or legal obligation

Jenny hates babysitting her niece, but she has to go through the motions the sake of her sister and the love she has for her niece.

go through the motions — to do something because you are expected to do it and not because you want to (often in continuous tenses) These days when we go out, cook a meal together or even make love, I get the feeling that he’s just going through the motions.

To do something begrudgingly is to give or expend with reluctance or resentment.

You can also begrudge a task, that is to be reluctant or resentful about it.

Necessary Evil perhaps?

Something you dislike doing but just has to be done.

For Jenny, babysitting her niece is a necessary evil. She really dislikes doing it but she has to for the sake of her sister and the love she has for her niece.

In one word, «duty«, as mentioned already in another answer, but there is an expression that perfectly fits your scenario, it is imported from French but used this way (in French) in English:

Noblesse oblige
is a French phrase literally meaning «nobility obliges». It denotes the concept that nobility extends beyond mere entitlements and requires the person who holds such status to fulfill social responsibilities, particularly in leadership roles.

In common practice, and the phrase exists in Spanish as well, it means that you do something out of noble duty (without bitterness) as a result of your elevated status (in your provided example, the status being «loving aunt/sister»).

You may use forced.

She isn’t really interested in doing it but is forced to do it for her sister and the love she has for her niece.

However, I think it depends on the situation. As you’re talking about babysitting here, you may use a more passive word, unlike forced. I’d prefer obliged
as mentioned in the other answer.

No Catlicks on this site? It’s called penance, my friends.

(Please note: It’s possible that only Catholics use this word for the purpose described in the question. — we’re conditioned that way.)

(something) needs to be (done)

Use «___ needs to be ___» to talk about work that someone needs to do:

It needs to be done soon.

English speakers use «be __» to avoid saying exactly who should do something. For example, you might say this this to an employee:

The files in this folder all need to be reviewed.

Instead of this:

You need to review the files in this folder.

The first one sounds softer and less direct.

Or you can say «___ needs to be ___» if you don’t know who should be responsible:

That old building needs to be knocked down.

Use «___ doesn’t need to be ___» when it’s OK not to do something:

No, they don’t need to be cooked. You can eat them just like that.

Hi there,

1. There is something needs to be done.
2. There is something needed to be done.

Which one do you think is correct?
I personally consider the second one grammatically correct.
But I can google a lot of examples as the first one, like «People understand that there is something needs to be done.» cnn :confused:

Thanks in advance.

It shouldn’t be either of those. It should be «There is something that needs to be done.»

(1) is fine in British English.

(1) is fine in British English.

I don’t know if I necessarily agree. I would expect that «There’s something needs doing» would be acceptable in BE, or even AE, but not «There’s something needs to be done.»

Or… even if (1) is fine, it still seems like «needs doing» would be overwhelmingly more common.

Yes, you’re absolutely right….I hastily read the first sentence as «There is something needs done,» and may have conflated that with «There is something needs doing.»

But I will insist — «There’s something needs doing» isn’t proper AE. (Then again, I didn’t think «roster» as a verb was proper AE English either )

(1) is fine in British English.

I would say it’s non-standard BE though (like ‘He’s the man looks after the cows’). A relative pronoun is required in standard BE.

Thanks for all your replies

Is it a BE/AE difference?
I’m still confused because:
Something needs to be done.
Something needs being done.
are both complete sentences
How can «There is» simply be followed by a complete sentence?

If (1) is non-standard BE, is it widely used?

To all folks, Merry Christmas

In English we can often drop a relative pronoun if it does not make the sentence to difficult to understand.
1. There is something that I need. OK
2. There is something I need. OK

But in standard written English we do not usually drop the relative pronoun if it forms the subject of the relative clause.
3. There is something that needs to be done. OK
4. There is something needs to be done. DEBATABLE

4 is dialectal, quaint, conversational, old-fashioned, poetic, … This doesn’t mean that you will never hear it.
