Mom's learned a very simple life lesson here: don't bite the hand that feeds. Making fun of someone for having the time to help you is a great way to ensure that they're booked ahead of time forever.

Mom makes fun of 17-year-old sister for having no social life, teen proves her wong by refusing to babysit for free and going out with friends instead: '[I'm] finding a life'
Finding reliable childcare can be really difficult. Even with websites dedicated to linking mothers to nannies, one can still find trouble meeting a caregiver that is truly the "right fit." Sometimes the best babysitters are family members. Not only are they logistically convenient, but they already love your children and know everything about them. Now I'll say the quiet part out loud: family members usually babysit for free. While it is certainly rare for a grandma or auntie to ask for payment to watch the kids, taking their assistance for granted will likely have you getting to have fewer to no date nights or time to yourself.
In our story today, a teen girl babysits for free often for her older sister. She has no issue with it, and loves her nieces and nephews. However, when her sister disparages her in front of the family, taunting her for not having a social life and thus being available to babysit at any time, our protagonist takes it to heart. She keeps these words in mind the next time sis comes looking for help. Read the full story down below.
