‘Raise your own kids’: 17-year-old daughter raises 4 younger siblings instead of mom, she reaches a breaking point when her mom gets pregnant again

Parents, say this with me: "Having an older child does not mean you get to use them as a free babysitter".

Got it? Good. Because it is 100% true.

Being the older sibling does not mean you have to be put to work in your own household. Your parents should never expect you to babysit your younger siblings whenever they want you to. You are entitled to your own life, without having to commit to a job you never signed up for, and that you most definitely are not getting paid for. And if there are any parent who are reading this who still think they can put their kids to work like this, maybe the story below will be the cautionary tale you need to fully let this lesson sink in.

The 17-year-old in this story is about to take legal action against her mother because she found herself doing all the parental work instead of her mom. With 4 younger siblings, the teen decided she could not keep doing all the hard work alone, especially without so much as a ‘thank you’ from her neglectful mother.
So she finally stood up to her mom, keep scrolling to read the full story and find out how that went down.
