Sister asks woman to babysit because she has a last minute work meeting, she finds out sister was lying about her plans: 'If I can’t trust her to be honest, I’m not obligated to babysit.'

We all do stuff for our families for free that we wouldn't do for anyone else otherwise. When you're growing up, your parents usually called it chores, and it was more than anything to teach you how to take care of the home you make. In school, it was picking up your little sibling from soccer practice when you'd much rather be hanging out with your friends instead. These are the unwritten rules of family, and it's how we all learn how to help each other so that we can build a community that thrives on human connection.

In adulthood, one of the things you do for your family is help to take care of the new members when they come into the world. Whether that be as grandparents or aunts and uncles, it's an unspoken duty that pro-bono babysitting is all part of the job of loving and living for each other. As much as it is just a part of being a family, it is also a lot to ask of someone. Overuse the privilege, and you're bound to lose it. One woman is facing a very similar issue with her sister, who asks her to babysit her kids while lying about her plans. Read to learn more.
