According to the sister, not having kids means not having “real problems,” and if you’re not elbow-deep in diapers or racing the school bell, you must be living in a fantasy world where sleep is optional and boundaries don’t exist. Accusations of selfishness and not understanding “what family means” flew, conveniently ignoring the many times the childfree sibling had already stepped in as an unpaid, on-call nanny.

After a reminder that boundaries aren’t a betrayal, the sister hung up, only for her husband to swoop in with a guilt-laden text about letting the family down. Apparently, not having children is now grounds for being everyone’s emergency backup.

‘I’m not a free nanny. I said no, She LOST IT’: Childfree woman refuses to babysit her sister’s 3 under-10 kids overnight before a big work presentation, is hung up on and branded selfish
Being the childfree sibling is like wearing an invisible "Available 24/7" sign that only exhausted parents can see. And often come with an unspoken assumption: your time is up for grabs.
One woman found herself in this familiar bind when her sister, a mother of three, consistently in crisis mode, decided her sibling's solo lifestyle meant unlimited access to free childcare. The latest request is a modest overnight babysitting stint so the parents could attend a wedding. The response was a polite but firm no, citing a major work presentation and the small matter of needing to function the next day.
That's when the fireworks began.
