Stepmother expects 18-year-old stepdaughter to babysit her kid at husband’s funeral, she refuses: “You’re not the only one here who lost someone”

One of the hardest things in life is having to deal with family situations. It doesn't matter if you had everything under one roof, that your parents stayed together, that they lived a long life, that you had a good relationship with them. Things that are better on the surface don't always equate to being better at its core. Maybe your parents are divorced, maybe you had to grow up with stepsiblings in your home and feeling like you're an alien there to the rest of your family. Maybe you have nothing else going for you and you rely on your family for everything.

Some people are closer with their parents than others. It's a dream to have the love and support of family while you're growing up. The thing about being a parent is that it never really stops no matter how old your children get.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman whose father went over the hill. She relied on him immensely, and they were very close. She's not very close to her mother, so when he passed away it meant even more.

AITA for refusing to "babysit" my stepbrother during my dad’s funeral?
