    I 28F have an older brother who's married and have two kids. My brother and I have always been close and I adore their kids. I don't have children of my own yet (my husband and I have been married for 4 years and we've been trying to conceive for 2 years now). they often ask me to

    babysit. I also take them to the park sometimes or just hang out with them to give my brother and his wife a break.

    Everything was great until last weekend. I had planned to take my nieces to the park for a couple of hours. My SIL called me in the morning and asked if I could pick up some groceries for them on my way over. I agreed no problem. When I got to their house with the groceries my SIL
  • 05
    was visibly annoyed. She started going off about how I got the wrong brand of butter and that the fruit I bought wasn't fresh. She even complained that I was few minutes late which was because of the extra stop I made for the groceries.
  • 06
    I tried to brush it off but she just kept going making comments about how "don't understand the stress of raising kids" I finally snapped and told her she should be grateful I'm even helping out. She said she doesn't need my help if I'm going to have an attitude. I told her to deal with

    her own groceries and left without taking the kids to the park. Now my brother is upset with me for "abandoning" (edit: sorry I meant to say "punishing" not abandoning) the kids and not keeping my promise to them. He

    says I should have just let my SIL's comments slide for the sake of the kids. I feel bad about disappointing my nieces but I also feel like I shouldn't have to put up with that kind of treatment.

    She knows about this and said "don't understand the stress of raising kids" ? If yes she's horrible. Instead of appreciating what you do for them and the way you love their kids.

    Natural-Fun-001 • 12h ago NTA. SIL was a for no good reason. She owes you for free babysitting. Your brother is an for enabling that and demanding you to just lie back and take it. "Let it

    slide" also means "hey, it would be more convenient for me if you'd just get abused and treated poorly and shut up about how it makes you feel, because I don't care about you."

    New-Comment2... • 11h ago Ah, yes. The standard "be a good little doormat, and let faaaammmily walk all over you", you know, for "the sake of the kids." People need to understand that not everyone is going to ignore the slick comments to avoid

    making waves. If they treat people like they need to get called out for it. NTA.
