Sometimes the people you think know you best still find ways to second-guess your intentions.

One man volunteered to help his sister-in-law care for her daughter without hesitation, only to feel the quiet sting of suspicion creep in. Was he right to put his foot down?

Read on for all the details.

AiTAh for wanting to back out of doing my SIL and favor cause I don’t like that she installed cameras to be on the safe side.

My wife used to get our niece ready and take her to daycare every Friday since she was off and her sister had to be at work by 6:30, and daycare did not open until 7.

My wife’s work schedule changed, and she could no longer do it.

So I offered to change my schedule around to start work at 10. We have been doing this for around four months.

My SIL has voiced no concerns, and when she calls, I always answer.

But then he made a concerning discovery.

We recently found out she installed cameras in her house.

When my wife brought it up, she told her, “You never know.”

I will be honest, I was taken aback because she has had no complaints in the past, but now she wants to have cameras because “you never know”?

She keeps repeating the same vague words over and over.

My wife did ask her sister if I had done anything that made her concerned or worried.

She told her no, but said it was a safety issue and, once again, said, “You never know.”

At this point, I told my wife I don’t want to go into her house. I don’t feel comfortable being in a home or around her daughter if she is that concerned.

The people in his life can’t seem to come to an agreement on the best course of action.

My wife agrees it is weird also, considering I have known her sister for over 16 years.

Others think I am blowing it out of proportion, but I don’t like how she assumes the worst of me because I am male.

She told my wife she had no concerns when she was doing it.

AITA?

He never expected lending a helping hand to turn out this way.

What did Reddit have to say?

It’s clear there’s a lack of trust here.

Maybe it is time to back out of this arrangement.

Why bother doing a favor for someone who treats you like a criminal?

No one likes to feel untrusted.

He never asked to be treated like a criminal.
