Jeez, you’d think that people with kids would at least ASK folks if they could babysit instead of demanding it…

But you know how people can be!

The woman you’re about to hear from took to Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page to see if she did anything wrong when her neighbors wanted her to babysit their kids.

Read on and see what you think!

AITA for refusing for babysit my neighbors’ children?

“My husband and I (F) moved into a new neighborhood a few weeks back.

The new house is great. We have our own yard and both us and our doggies enjoy it a lot.

They’re doing just fine…

We’re childless and we don’t plan on having children.

We’re not comfortable around kids, especially very young ones and we have zero experience in dealing with children.

Our neighborhood is full of parents.

We’re the only childless couple.

Since we moved in, we have been friendly with our neighbors and their children, but we don’t join their activities.

They have barbecue parties, swimming pool parties and they gather with their kids etc. and we don’t really like the noise of kids, so we just keep our distance.

Some have made rude comments about this saying we need to socialize more and I kept explaining that’s how we are and they need to accept it.

I don’t think so…

Anyways, yesterday one neighbor came to me asking if I could babysit her two kids (5 and 7) all day Saturday.

I politely declined explaining that I don’t feel comfortable taking care of such young children.

And even if I were, I have no time to babysit because I’m doing some freelancing in the weekend which I don’t want to reschedule since I’m very much enjoying it and making money out of it.

She said okay and left.

Then her husband came and demanded I explain myself.

I said I already did and he said that ‘not feeling comfortable’ isn’t a reason and I’m a woman, how can I possibly feel uncomfortable?

That annoyed me and I snapped telling him he doesn’t dictate what I’m supposed to feel and I have no obligation to watch their kids.

There are many other parents in the neighborhood that can do that or they could hire a babysitter.

This is insane!

He said why hire when I’m childless and available for free?

I got really angry and screamed at him that I’m not a free babysitter just because I have no kids of my own.

Told him to **** off and never come to me with such ridiculous demands.

The neighborhood group chat blew up immediately with all sorts of bad comments about me.

They’ve been calling me an ******* for refusing to help.

When my husband came home he was shocked at their demands and wanted to go yell at them some, but I stopped him.

Now, some of the comments in the chat made me think they’re right and I am an *******. It’s tough raising kids.

And it’s difficult to find reliable babysitters.

AITA for not helping the parents?

I was pretty confident I’m not an *******, but now I don’t know anymore.”

These neighbors sound a bit pushy, don’t you think?

And that’s putting it mildly.
