    Font - AITA for audibly saying "Bruh.." when my sister announced she was pregnant AGAIN? Hello! I'm(F16) a younger sister to laury (26f) Me and laury have never been close since we had different dads, I was an affair baby. She's always resented me for "ruining her family" but whatever Laury has SIX KIDS. YES. SIX. Twin boys beck and Joe who are 7, (planned) a girl lilliana who's 6 (unplanned) another girl, angel who's 5.(planned) Another boy, Keith who's 2 (planned) and another baby boy Karl who

    Font - Despite the fact that Laury is incapable of taking care of these kids, 4 of them were actually planned. Because she KNOWS my pushover mom will give her money and watch the kids. My mom even quit her job to do so, even turning her work room into a nursery for Karl. We're pretty well off, but we can't do this forever.

    Font - I try not to judge, and just ignore laury like she does me. Even though when my mom is busy doing something like changing a diaper I have to step in and help. Especially with the twins since they're very rough with each other.

    Font - Tonight at dinner laury's boyfriend joined (a father to just Karl) as well as laury's father. This wasn't abnormal so I didn't think anything of it, until my sister said she had some exciting knews.. I wished she'd say something else.. But I knew what she was going to say. "I'm pregnant!!!" She would say. Everyone went dead silent until I said "bruh.." I didn't mean to say it out loud, but COME ON. Laury gave me a Death Stare, and said if I wanted to say something I should just say it. So

    Font - "Laury this is your... (I take a moment to COUNT) sixth child. You know we can't keep supporting you. Without mom you'd be on the streets, and you know that. Look at mom, she's so tired! She's always taking care of your kids and so am i. I'd bet I've changed more diapers than you have you selfish " She began to cry. And ran out into her boyfriends car, he followers her and drove.

    Font - My mother then began to cry... She left to go out Karl back to bed since he woke up. It was just me and Laurie's father. He began to yell and told me a I was a brat and laury was a great mother, then he stormed off.

    Font - As I'm sitting here in the morning watching the boys, I'm thinking, was I too obnoxious? My mom says that a lot, I don't mean to be because of my autism but come on! Please give me some feedback, Reddit, AITA??

    Font - perth07 19 hr. ago NTA sorry I'm a mother to a 17F and 15F and 'Bruh' is a common saying in my household. Good on you for calling her out and sticking up for your mother. It's not fair to these kids or your mother. 8.7k Reply Share

    Font - JAU feldur 18 hr. ago I can't give credit, because it was from a random reddit comment, but to (mis)quote a wise random redditor : "It's a not a clown car" NTA. You were blunt for sure, but at some point, ◆ needs to be said. She can't take care of her already present children, bringing more of them in the world is completely insane, both for her, for your mom, for you (who end up he;ping way too much for a 16 years old), and most importantly, for those kids. 5.6k Reply Share

    Font - albertspinkballoons. 19 hr. ago NTA at all. In my very own opinion, I think 6 children is ludicrous and painfully unnecessary given the world is already quite overpopulated. Also, your sister doesn't even appear to have custody of all these children? Why was Karl at your house and his mother and father both took off so easily? They don't seem like the best parents, even if it was socially acceptable to have so many cattle. 2.8k Reply Share

    Font - ImaginationNo2539. 19 hr. ago ΝΤΑ If she can't take care of the kids she has then she doesn't need to be having more. I'd be aggravated if I was expected to take care of her kids as well. 887 Reply Share

    Font - Rinzy2000 18 hr. ago If Laury's dad thinks she's such a great mother then perhaps he should quit his job and be the stay at home grandad. NTA. 4 735 Reply Share

    Font - Nothessim1986 - 19 hr. ago Bruh, you're definitely not the here. Your sister needs to learn how to use birth control or at least take care of her own kids. And your mom needs to stop enabling her lazy. NTA for sure. 4623 Reply Share

    Font - New_Shallot_7000. 18 hr. ago NTA. Do you have an exit plan for when you turn 18? You're already having childcare pushed on you, it will get worse once you finish school. Can you get a part time job and/or start spending a lot of your time at a friend or friends? Make yourself scarce to minimize being forced to babysit, maybe that will force your Mom to make your sister more involved or push her to force your sister to find other sitters. Six kids is too many! 302 Reply Share ...
