Her Sister Expects Her To Babysit For Free Every Single Day Because She’s A Stay-At-Home Mom, And Her Sister Thinks She Doesn’t Do Anything
This 30-year-old woman has two young children and is currently a stay-at-home mom. Meanwhile, her sister, who is 28, has three kids and works a full-time job.
So, her sister recently asked her for some childcare help. More specifically, she was asked if she could babysit her sister’s three kids every single day after school until her sister arrived home from work.
Now, to be clear, she had no qualms about lending her sister a hand.
“I told her I’d be happy to help,” she recalled.
However, she also said that she would need to be compensated for the childcare. After all, taking on three more kids in addition to her own two children would significantly change her daily responsibilities.
Well, rather than understanding that, her sister actually exploded on her.
“Saying that since I ‘don’t work’ and ‘just stay home all day,’ I shouldn’t need to be paid for it,” she revealed.
Her sister’s remarks left her shell-shocked, too, because she believes that staying home and caring for two children is practically a full-time job in and of itself.
“And adding three more kids to the mix is no small task,” she added.

So, she tried to explain her perspective to her sister. Nonetheless, her sister refused to listen and wound up accusing her of both being selfish and not supporting family members.
Her parents have since found out about their argument, too, and they are actually taking her sister’s side! In fact, they claimed that she should be more accommodating of her sister since her sister is “working hard to support her family.”
“And now, I’m being painted as the villain for expecting some form of compensation for the extra work,” she vented.
That’s why she’s now been left wondering if not wanting to babysit her sister’s kids for free just because she’s a stay-at-home mom actually makes her a jerk or not.
Do you agree that being a stay-at-home mom is already a full-time job and that she should be compensated? Why do you think her sister expected her to agree to watch three extra kids for free? How would you have reacted in her shoes?
