I love how some people don’t understand the concept of WORK.

Yes, you always want to help out your friends and family members when they need it, but when there’s work to do…well, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Is this woman to blame for the situation she finds herself in?

AITA for refusing to leave work to help my family?

“I (26 F) have a job that is fully remote which I am very thankful for.

Last year my fiancee and I bought a house 5 minutes from our families. For context my sister (31 F) lives at home with my parents and is in and out of jobs at a rapid pace. My parents (69 F and 72 M) are retired and their only income is SSI.

It’s not a great situation.

My sister is a single mom of 2 kids and one of the kids is possibly autistic, they are waiting on an evaluation to confirm. My sister is currently out of a job and fights with my father often.

I try to help out where I can like occasionally picking one of the kids up from school, coming over on the weekend, etc. There was a time where I was almost acting as a second parent with how much I was helping but my fiancee has helped me to recognize what is a normal family dynamic and try to stick to that.

When I help out during the week it’s after my assigned work is finished and I can make up time if I leave or count it as my lunch. (30 minutes) I try to only help out during the week if it is something that time away can be estimated so if it is over the time of lunch I can tell my manager and make up the time.

She can’t be everywhere at once!

I just got a call immediately asking for me to come over 15 minutes into my shift. There is fighting and the baby is not cooperating. I advised that I couldn’t I’m at work and was yelled at and then hung up on.

Where I may be the *******: I called back and left a voicemail explaining my job is serious and if I am not showing up to my job I have grounds for termination. If I’m fired I don’t have money to give and then they will be screwed.

I said I’m not sure where you got the notion that I can always leave but I can’t bend over at God’s will.

AITA for refusing and doubling down?”
