Even the people we love can sometimes ask too much of us.

If your sister asked you to help her with her baby, would you do it, or would you explain that you already have too much going on?

This young woman has an older sister who has just given birth to a baby.

Her sister asked if she could drop by their house after work to help out with the baby.

She doesn’t think that’s a good idea, but she’s wondering if she should agree to help anyway.

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for refusing to help my sister with her baby every day after work?

I (21F) work full-time, every day except Sundays.

My sister (36F) recently had a baby, who is now five months old.

I love my nephew and visit them whenever I can after work, but it’s usually a long trip, and I get home around 9 pm when I go there.

This young woman was asked to help with her older sister’s newborn baby.

I live with my mom, and she doesn’t like me taking showers after 9 pm because of the noise.

Even though I pay the water and electric bills, I try to avoid fights and respect that.

My sister just returned from maternity leave, and she asked me to come help with the baby every day after work, so she can shower and get things done.

She explained that this arrangement might not work for her for several reasons.

I told her that it’s difficult for me because of how late I get home and the problems it causes at home.

I also mentioned that I’m usually exhausted after work and that going there daily would be too much.

Her older sister started yelling at her.

She said it was fine but then got really upset and started yelling at me.

She brought up personal things, saying I can’t keep a job and making me feel like I’m unreliable.

I was just trying to explain my situation, but she seemed to take it as an attack.

Now, she dreads it more to visit and help her sister because of what happened.

Now, I don’t feel comfortable going to her house anymore even though I care about her and the baby.

She has a husband and in-laws who could help her too, so I don’t feel like it’s fair for her to expect this much from me.

Still, I worry that my family will think I’m being selfish or uncaring. AITA?

Is she being selfish or is her sister asking too much?

Let’s see the reactions of other people on Reddit to this story.

Her request is ridiculous, says this person.

While this user thinks they are exhausting.

This person shares their thoughts.

Here’s another valid point.

Finally, people are calling out the sister.

Asking for help is one thing, but demanding unreasonable requests is another story.
