Redditors valiantly defended OP in the comments.
“The SIL who thinks OP who isn’t a parent to these kids will ‘make better choices’ than their actual parent is pretty high up there in AH stakes. Definitely NTA. Bravo for your creative solution OP” said u/Prestigious_Elk353.
“LOL totally agree, bravo *chef kiss* Oh no Dad can't get drunk with the boys because you beat him to it. It's not fair! waah! stomp stomp. NTA of course. ‘Trusted you to make better choices’—you DID make the better choice hahaha” said u/Crafty_Dog_4674.
“This is it! I don’t understand why MIL is calling only you out or why she and SIL get to leave? Why isn’t she calling out her sons? You don’t just have a sexist MIL problem, but a husband problem if he hasn’t stopped his family. Your husband should be going to bat for you and saying: ‘my wife is not free childcare. Everyone has to ask and see (not assume) if she can watch the kids.’ Further, you should go out with your own friends and plan fun things when BIL comes over with his kids to hang out at your house. You deserve to enjoy your free time also. Good luck Op! NTA all the way!” u/Mandaloriana_2022.
“I agree NTA but I think you are mistaken snd it will happen again….you are the de facto babysitter. Keep a stash handy as I predict you will need it again real soon!” said u/Dry_Promotion6661.
“Maybe next time they’ll hire a babysitter so everyone can enjoy the evening!” said u/Coffee-Historian-11.
