20-year-old woman refuses to free babysit for her entitled sister after she dropped her baby off unannounced, the family calls her selfish and unsupportive: “You owe it to us”

Family is never easy. It's the people you've known forever, the people you grew up with and who watched you grow up. They know everything, and at the same time don't know anytime. Some family members may not really be there for you, and some are. I'll never forget the time I was stuck with a flat tire in the rain in the town over from where I grew up, and my mom came to help me fix it. Sometimes they surprise you with how giving they can be, or how loved you can feel. But when it comes to babysitting, it's a whole different story.

Babysitting isn't a walk in the park. When it's your niece or nephew, things could also get a little too personal. We all have complicated relationships with family members, and just because you're related to the person doesn't mean you necessarily like them.

In the story below, the protagonist is a young woman who babysat last minute for her sister. She assumed it would be a one time thing, but to her shock and dismay, her sister expected her to just drop everything any time she wanted a babysitter. The protagonist puts her foot down, but doesn't stop hearing the end of it.

It's absolutely ridiculous that this woman expects her younger sister to just drop everything and babysit. 20 is very young to have the burden and responsibility of motherhood without even having a child. If family helps family then the older sister can help her younger sister by not expecting her to babysit at the drop of a hat.
