18-year-old girl refuses dad’s last-minute request to babysit half-siblings so he can go on date-night, as she only has a 4-day college break and doesn't want to sit home alone, knowing he can afford a babysitter instead: 'Now [he's] called me selfish'

As a recently graduated college student, I know just how important those few days of vacation can be. A time to unwind, spend quality time with those who often feel miles away, and if you're lucky enough, have a few days where you no longer have to do every little thing yourself! Sorry, I'm getting a bit carried away here, but what I'm trying to say is that it's the one moment we can allow our brains to go on airplane mode. So during that time, certain things are a big no-no. These include: Looking at laundry detergent, engaging with one more microwave meal, or having to listen to your toddler step-siblings scream, while you sit at home alone looking after them…Wait, did things just get a bit personal? Well, for this college student, it certainly did! 

This 18-year-old girl has 4 very valuable days off from college, days she has allocated for fun with her family and closest friends. That is, until her dad requests that she look after her step-siblings one night, while he goes off on a date night with his new wife…So much for quality time. As expected, she refuses, as she has no desire to live out a Home Alone film during one of her limited nights off! 

Surely, her father would understand…?
