Im a mom of a toddler. Since being a mom, it’s kind of difficult for me to deal with more than just my child right now due to my mental health state (super stressed from being in school, working full time and being a single mom).
All of my siblings have had their children before me and I watched them basically my whole childhood/teen years (I’m the youngest).
My sibling recently had a second child and has been complaining about me not offering to watch them. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t have the mental capacity. They had an even they wanted to attend, and have been hinting all week that they really needed a babysitter for the new baby. So, I tried to be nice and I said okay, I’ll watch the new baby but I can’t watch the older one as well. Two kids (including my child) are already pushing it and a third I just know I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
It’s time for me to baby sit and they come with both kids. And say that the older one will be getting picked up and left for the event. When they left, the older one informed me no one is actually coming to get them.
AITA for telling my sibling I don’t want to babysit again?
