Careless mom assumes 13-year-old niece will watch her kids, blames her when her kids spill pasta sauce on the carpet: 'Your daughter wasn't even in the room when it happened'

We often hear that it takes a village, but who exactly does that village extend to? Is it just the adults in your family, or do the older kids get to share the burden too? Shows like 19 Kids and Counting show that some parents rely on this strategy. The older kids raise the younger kids, and so on. Everyone has a buddy. But is this fair to kids that didn't sign up to child rear, and are still trying to have a childhood of their own? Every family has a different perspective on this issue, but when those perspectives clash, drama ensues.

That's the position one family found themselves in when a mom of young kids assumed that her niece would watch her kids. But the niece had a different idea in mind, and so did her mom. Read on for the story and decide what you would have done in that situation.
