    Facial expression - I am the youngest of four children at 21. My husband and I are wanting to wait around 4 more years to have children, so I'm not child free I just don't have any.

    Font - I have 12 nieces and nephews. My siblings all have a lot of kids. All of my siblings are also single, divorced/never married. They have always asked me to babysit, and I've always said no. None of them know how to discipline their kids. Their kids will lie, steal, bite each other, etc. just being around them is hard. My oldest brother has offered to pay me to babysit but the other two want me to do it for free, I refuse all three. My entire family thinks I'm an asshole for never babysitti

    Font - My sister wanted to go on a date the other day, and no one would watch her six kids. I told her too bad. She said she'll never find a nice man to settle down with if she can't go out. I said she's delusional and it's not my problem.

    Font - AITA for never babysitting under any circumstances Edit: when I do have children I absolutely will not ask any of them to babysit. I'd rather pay a professional

    Font - elleusesreddit 9 hr. ago. edited 9 hr. ago ΝΤΑ It sounds like they should all be investing in a good babysitter, nanny, housekeeper, etc. I've taken care of kids in many different capacities, but there's not enough money in the world to have me babysit six kids solo!

    Font - elleusesreddit 9 hr. ago Yeah, if they can't afford to have kids or can't afford to take care of their kids...then they should stop having kids. Lol, that's not your fault!

    Font - chuckinhoutex 9 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [32] NTA- and I'm sure you have a line, but I'd pick something and use it like a mantra when it comes up. "I'm not a babysitter".. "I don't do kids" "Are you new here? Surely you know the answer to this by now"
