Entitled parents have children and expect everyone around them to take on the responsibility of parenthood as well, but this teenager was not about to let his older sister step all over him. Whenever she was fed up with her motherly duties, she'd ask her family members to watch her baby, lying and saying she'd be back in a few minutes, only to disappear for half an hour. With a sister like that, who needs to have kids of their own? 

Fortunately for the teen brother in this next story, becoming his sister's personal parenting doormat was never an option.

  • I love my nieces and nephews, don't get me wrong, but the best part about being a childfree aunt (or uncle) is going home to a childless house or enjoying a life free of parenting responsibility. Nobody wants to get strapped with parenting responsibility when they never asked for it, which is why the entitled mom in this next story got taught a lesson in parental availability… The hard way.

  • wonder what's taking her so long so you go and bang on the door and then she finally comes out 20 minutes after she left. So basically she just uses it as an excuse when she's fed up of being with her kid

  • When I got back my sister was ped and asked what was wrong with me and why would I just "abandon" her while she was crying like that and I just said I had to go and I did tell her I had to be gone by a certain time. I felt a bit bad but at the same time she's not my child..

  • Silver6Rules . Her child, her problem. If she keeps lying about how long she'll be gone, how can she expect anyone to want to do her any favors? What projection. You didn't abandon her child, SHE did.

  • Dreamybook1357. Not your responsibility. I get she needs breaks but taking advantage of people ain't how it's done.

  • No_Philosopher_1870 Your sister taught you that you can't rely on her to keep her word about how long she wants you to watch her child. That's going to make it hard for her to

  • mcindy28 You literally did nothing wrong. That child wasn't abandoned because the parent was there the whole time! Let this be the last favour.
