Helping family out can be tricky when they don’t respect your time.

One woman was willing to juggle a work deadline and babysitting her sister’s three kids, but when her sister made an offhand jab about her “fake” job, it made her rethink the whole thing.

And everything only unraveled from there.

Read on for the full story!

AITA for saying no to babysitting after my sister insulted my job?

My sister asked me to watch her 3 kids last weekend so she could go to a wedding.

I work from home and had a project deadline that same day, but I was still willing to rearrange my schedule to help her out.

But when she tried to tell her sister this, her sister got mean.

When I told her I’d just need a quiet space for a few hours to get my work done while watching the kids, she laughed and said my online job isn’t real work and that I sit around all day.

That comment really bothered me because I work hard and pay all my own bills.

So she decided she was no longer in the mood for doing favors.

I told her if she didn’t respect what I do, then I wouldn’t be comfortable helping.

She called me selfish and hung up.

Now the rest of the family is getting involved too.

Now my parents are upset because she had to skip the wedding, but I feel like I was doing her a favor and she was the one who ruined it with the insults.

AITA?

She must have not wanted a babysitter that bad if she was this quick to insult her only lead.

What did Reddit think?

It’s time to just start paying up like everyone else.

This commenter thinks the babysitting gig should be over for good.

WFH jobs really aren’t that tough to understand.

Her sister is about to find out just how much of a deal she had been getting all this time.

Her sister may have gotten away with these kinds of insults in the past, but she’s about to learn the hard way that actions have consequences.

Helping out isn’t worth it when respect isn’t part of the deal.
