Childfree 30-year-old refuses to babysit for sister with 3 kids under 7 after she tells her she doesn't know real stress: 'Did you really just call me a free trial version of a human being?'

One of the biggest reasons for the frequently frustrating divide between parents and childless people is how each group perceives the other. The childfree often look at those with children as crazy for making a decision that upends their lives so much, giving them a sense of entitlement that is unfair. Meanwhile, moms and dads can see the childless as an indulgent, unenlightened group with more spare time and money than they know what to do with.

It is no surprise, then, that when these two opposing groups are brought together, friction can occur. It is common in both friend groups and families when some have kids and others don't. While in an ideal world, everyone would get along in perfect harmony, we know that this can be far from the truth in reality. There's always somebody with the kind of attitude that causes more problems than solutions when it comes to having children.

AITAH for telling my sister to find another babysitter after she said I “don’t know real stress” ‘cause I don’t have kids?

One woman found herself dealing with this after declining her older sister's request for her to babysit her three kids that weekend. Her reasoning was that her sibling had insulted her by claiming she had nothing to do as a childfree person while asking that she help out before she and her husband “[lost] their minds”.
Her sister and her mom were not pleased when she rejected the cry for help, but she was adamant that she was within her rights to do so. She hoped that the internet would validate her opinion.
