'They don't value you as a person': Selfish mother relies on 21-year-old sister to babysit, freaks out when she asks to be compensated

It's nice to help out your family members every now and again. It's what they're there for, and it makes you feel good too. Especially when it comes to babysitting, it's a fun and helpful way to chip in, and you get to develop a relationship with the child. That's something that you and the child will share for the rest of your life. They'll have fond memories of being taken care of by their older cousins, aunts, uncles, or friends, and you'll be the hero who helped out. 

But, like anything, there's of course a line that shouldn't be crossed. You have your own life too, and need to be protective of your time. You have things to do, places to go, and a life to live according to your schedule. Sure, love is about sacrifice, but it's not about sacrifice all the time. That's what happened to one woman whose time was being devalued. Read on for the story.
