This was the case between two sisters when the older one, who was a wife and mother, agreed to let her move in with her husband and kids on the condition that she would watch her younger child for a weekly stipend.
While the younger sister initially agreed to the agreement, she soon claimed it was too demanding on her mental health, and her duties dropped down to occasional babysitting only.
Two years later, she was working again, but contributing little to the household in terms of chores or finances. When she complained about being expected to babysit on one occasion after work, her older sibling began to wonder if it would be wrong to ask her to move out.

'I don't feel like I should dedicate my life to you guys': Mom lets 20-year-old sister move in with her family on the condition she provides childcare, she protests when she's expected to babysit
Living with siblings as an adult can sometimes prove a challenge for everybody involved. Even those with close relationships are not immune to being pulled into the petty squabbles that come with being at close quarters with family members, and on top of that, the disagreements between adults are likely to be a heck of a lot more significant than those between kids. Add to this the fact that many people would not choose to live with family unless they do not really have any other choice, and there is plenty of potential for conflict.
More often than not, when somebody lives with an adult sibling, they expect them to contribute to the household in some way. This can take many different forms. This ranges from the obvious, like paying rent, to the more specific, like cooking or babysitting. This contribution not being adequately fulfilled is normally the crux of any argument.
