This young woman is 17-years-old, and she really doesn’t approve of her older sister’s current relationship.
For some context, her 25-year-old sister used to have a boyfriend who she actually really liked. Then, her sister cheated on him with a guy she completely despises.
“I refuse to interact with him,” she said.
To make matters even worse, her sister only came clean about the cheating after she got pregnant and had to tell her ex-boyfriend that the baby was not his.
At the time, she was furious at her sister because she genuinely loved her ex and got along with him super well.
“I honestly thought of him as a brother or something. We fell out of contact, sadly,” she detailed.
Anyway, that was years ago, and her sister’s baby is currently 2-years-old. Her sister is also now dating her former affair partner – the guy she cheated with.
To this day, though, she still hates her sister’s affair partner-turned-boyfriend, which is why she refuses to help out with any childcare. Just yesterday, this sparked a ton of drama, too.
It all began when her sister texted and asked if she could babysit. Yet, she apparently never sees her sister’s child aside from at big family gatherings since her sister never bothers to visit her or her parents.

This pushed her to turn down the babysitting request, and when her sister asked why, she didn’t really provide an answer.
“My sister only questioned why because I always babysit our relatives’ children when they have something to do because I love kids,” she clarified.
Well, after she and her sister texted back and forth a bit more, she finally revealed her true feelings. In fact, she flat-out admitted to hating both her sister and her sister’s boyfriend and that she did not want to babysit her sister’s “affair kid.”
Her sister became furious after she said that, and they both stopped messaging each other anymore.
However, that still wasn’t the end of the drama since, the very next day, her parents told her off for speaking to her sister like that. At that point, she found out her sister had sent screenshots of her texts to their parents, essentially ratting her out.
Nonetheless, even with her parents accusing her of being a jerk and threatening to ground her, she still will not babysit for her sister.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong, even after talking to my parents and sister,” she vented.
“Then again, I don’t really care about people’s feelings, so I could be missing something.”
Now, she can’t help but wonder if never wanting to babysit her sister’s “affair baby” is really so unreasonable or not.
Should she feel obligated to help her sister or not? What would you have done in her shoes?
