Freelancing brother refuses to babysit niece after sister claims he is unemployed, he says she must find someone else as she does not respect him, causing full family feud: 'Come on, you're at home all day anyway. You're basically unemployed'

Family comes first, but what does that actually mean?

Siblings, especially brothers and sisters, often grow up teasing, mocking, and challenging each other. It's a typical childhood phase full of name-calling, hand-throwing and trying to most accurately describe the stalk that dropped them off at our parent's doorstep. It's chaos, yet familiar, and more often than not, it's harmless.

However, as we grow older and begin building lives of our own, suddenly those insults start to sting a bit deeper than they used to. Maybe it's because we care more deeply about the opinions of those we love. Maybe it's because the things we once laughed off now echo our own insecurities. Either way, adulthood no longer forces us to live under the same roof and accept the hurtful jabs, disguised as sibling banter, being thrown our way. Because of this, there is a lot more room for division and resentment to fester and allow for cracks to form in the foundation of the family home.

So does family strictly come first when there is mutual respect, or is family forever, irrespective of diverging perspectives and values?

This sibling dispute is a perfect example. The freelancing brother, who is doing fairly well for himself, is constantly belittled by his sister, who claims he is “unemployed” simply because he works remotely. So, when she suddenly needs a favor and asks her brother to babysit her daughter, he kindly declines. If respect isn’t mutual, how can anyone expect favors in return?
