Helping family members out is a good thing, especially when they are busy and have young children.

What would you do if your brother was living with you and he was always making other people watch his child while he was out having fun?

That is the situation the younger sister in this story is in, and she is becoming resentful toward the daughter because of it.

Let’s read all the details.

AITAH if I kinda don’t like my 4 year old niece because of her dad’s actions?

I am a female that lives with my mom, brother, his daughter and my little sister.

Ever since my brother moved in with his daughter a few years ago he forces everyone to take care of his daughter while he goes out with his girlfriend, friends, etc.

Even when she’s sick he just doesnt care and goes sleep at his girlfriend’s house.

Like come on, you have a daughter take care of her first.

She should really be going to the mom about this.

I already told him once that I don’t like the fact that sometimes I have to change my plans and adapt my days just to take care of my niece and I told him that if he doesnt take care of his daughter than he should give custody to her mother.

He got upset and we didn’t speak with each other for about three months.

I also already told him that I have a big emotional instability (that makes me stay angry very fast so if something doesnt go my way I get frustrated and eventually get mad) and I refused to take my niece to school but he never respects that.

She should really try to avoid taking it out on his daughter.

I’m tired and I’m projecting the father’s mistakes onto the daughter and I’m kind of tired of her and for all I care she could disappear.

I know this seems bad but I’m really tired and maybe I should seek for professional help .

Everyday we have to go pick her from school and I am just tired of it.

My mom was starting new job in the same place as him and he went and talked to her boss so that she would start the job 1 week later just to take care of his daughter instead of leaving her with her mom.

AITA?

While it isn’t the daughter’s fault, it is also wrong of the brother to force all this work on the family. Something needs to change.

Let’s take a look at the comments on Reddit to see what people suggest.

I agree, it is not the nieces’ fault. But she needs to stop being taken advantage of.

Yes, she has every right to be frustrated.

This commenter says to grow a spine!

This person says to see a therapist.

This is the simplest solution, if it is possible.

She needs to set some firm boundaries with her brother.
