25-year-old aunt refuses to babysit the night she has tickets to a $300 concert, despite her entitled sister's last-minute demands: ‘Literally 2 hours before I need to leave, [she] calls me’

• Aunts and uncles love their nieces and nephews. Although babysitting for a family member isn't always considered a chore, sometimes it is. Parents tend to forget that, although it takes a “village” to raise their little ones, ultimately, when it comes down to the wire, it's their personal responsibility to watch over their kids. 

  This entitled sister felt that her plans were more important than her sisters', and tried to force her younger sis to cancel concert plans so that she could attend a wedding with her husband. When the aunt refused, the family boat was rocked, and everyone was forced to reckon with the reality of last minute parenting inconveniences.

• While it's a bummer that the babysitter canceled at the last minute, that doesn't warrant the mother's behavior in my eyes. While I am a proud aunt of many nieces and nephews, ultimately, if my sister or sister-in-law tried to corner me into canceling an expensive night of festivities so they can go eat dry wedding cake and dance to Bruno Mars all night, I'd be peeved.

• Again, it's surely a bummer that the mom had to stay behind to watch her kids instead of attending a friend's wedding, but that all comes with the territory of having little humans in your care. The kids come first; everything else comes second. And it's honestly not any other adult's responsibility to pick up the slack when things go wrong. Parents can't just expect their entire family to bend over backwards; sometimes life gets in the way for multiple parties.
