    Font - Posted by u/sotireddofthis 7 hours ago 2 S 4 AITA for dropping my sisters kids off at a daycare, and making her pay for it? My (19F) sister (25F) asked me to babysit for her (kids are 4&6) so she could go a friends party. I told her I can't do that day, I had an exam so I had to be at college. (I can follow some classes online, and have occasionally babysat while listening to lectures).

She just left them with me after I said I couldn't stay home that day! I called a friend that owns a small daycare, she told me I could drop them off there. Thank god. I gave her my sisters contact info to her and told me to keep me updated, and I texted my sister about what happened and gave her the address and the phone number.

    Font - I picked the kids up from daycare since my sister wasn't answering her phone, and fed them. She picked them up at 9ish pm and was absolutely livid that I left them with a stranger, that it was irresponsible, that something could have happened, etc. I told her that she knew I couldn't babysit that day, and that she could have picked them up if she wasn't comfortable with that since I texted the address. She told me I should have just skipped the exam to retake it later. I thought this was

    Font - Edit: She and her friends went to an escape room or something, it wasn't a regular party. My parents weren't home that day to babysit. And you can retake exams here, but it's a hassle and it means that if I fail I can't retake it. Just to clear some things up. I'm sorry if this post seemed obvious, having both my sister and both my parents say that I was in the wrong made me doubt myself.

You should text her: ago "Do not leave your children on my doorstep unless you have made prior arrangements with me and I have AGREED to watch them. The arrangements and consent need to be in writing via text. If you do this again, I will call CPS instead of a daycare and I will show them that I have made all of this clear to you. I love my niblings very much. But they are your responsibility. I am not your co-parent." Edit: She

    Product - ParsimoniousSalad · 7 hr. ago Judge, Jury, and Excretioner [345] Your sister is lucky! When someone leaves kids on your doorstep without warning after you've explicitly said you couldn't take care of them, you might otherwise call the police or CPS. Tell her this is your other option, and you'll do that next time. Oh, and stop watching her kids for her until or unless she learns to respect you. Maybe not even then. I can't get over the part about her just driving off and then not accep

    Font - aimalyn · 7 hr. ago My mom told me my sister already has so much on her plate, and that I should help out when I can. But you couldn't. You said you couldn't.
