This 26-year-old woman’s older sister, who is 32, has two kids – who are 6 and 4-years-old. And recently, her sister has begun expecting her to babysit the children practically every single weekend.
“I love my niece and nephew,” she said, “But I have my own life and commitments.”
Now, her sister is a single mom, and she realizes that raising two kids alone is extremely tough. So, she knows that her sister needs a break from time to time, and she’s happy to step in “here and there.”
However, her sister stopped actually asking her to babysit and just started expecting her to – which rubbed her the wrong way.
“She’ll just drop them off without asking if I’m available, assuming I’ll take care of them,” she revealed.
Just last weekend, her sister’s bad habit finally pushed her over the edge, too. She’d already made plans to go hiking with some of her friends.
“Something I’ve been looking forward to for weeks,” she recalled.
Yet, her sister called her the night before their hike and claimed that she needed to watch her niece and nephew. At that point, she tried to explain her hiking plans, but her sister just became upset.
In fact, her sister actually accused her of being selfish and claimed she never got any time for herself.
