Entitled mother puts dating over parenting, expects teen daughter to babysit 4-year old for free on her every whim, shocked when she stands up for herself: “I’m not on call for your social life!”

Ahoy, there, internet surfing sisters. Older siblings across space and time know what is feels like to be the free, designated babysitter. This is definitely okay in emergency situations, when babysitters cancel, or when parents plan to just take a quick trip to the store. However, kids have lives to live, too, and they should not be expected to be available for free childcare at their parent's every whim. Older kids need time to study, to socialize, and to engage in their hobbies without the constant responsibility of their siblings weighing on their backs.

In our story today, a young woman's life is constantly disrupted by her mother's last-minute demands to care for her 4-year old stepsister. Our empathetic protagonist understands her mother's struggle to hop back in the dating pool, but she is sick of having to clear her schedule every time she has a romantic evening planned. The tension between mother and daughter culminates one busy weekend; read all about it by scrolling down below!
