Watching babies and toddlers is hard work.
This woman does not have the mental capacity to babysit her sibling’s two kids, so she agreed to babysit one, just to be nice.
Unfortunately, her sibling wasn’t going to let her get away with that.
Now, she never wants to babysit for her sibling again.
Read the story below for all the details.
AITA for telling my sibling I’m not babysitting again?
I’m a mom of a toddler.
Since being a mom, it’s kind of difficult for me to deal with more than just my child.
This is due to my mental health state.
I’m super stressed from being in school, working full-time, and being a single mom.
This woman no longer has the capacity to babysit like she used to.
All of my siblings have had their children before me, and I watched them, basically my whole childhood and teen years, as I’m the youngest.
My sibling recently had a second child.
She has been complaining about me, because I’m not offering to watch them.
It’s nothing personal, I just don’t have the mental capacity.
She agreed to babysit her sibling’s newborn, just to be nice.
They had an event they wanted to attend, and they have been hinting all week.
They said they really needed a babysitter for the new baby.
So, I tried to be nice.
She could only look after 2 kids at most.
I said, “Okay, I’ll watch the new baby.” I can’t watch the older one, as well.
Two kids, including my child, are already pushing it.
With a third, I just know, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But her sibling brought two kids and left her no choice.
It’s time for me to babysit, and they came with both kids and said that the older one will be getting picked up and left for the event.
When they left, the older one informed me no one was actually coming to get them.

Having a child changes things. Her sibling needs to understand that.
