Aunt Tells Parents She Won't Be Available To Babysit, Parents Forcibly Leave The Baby With Her, Aunt Leaves The Baby With A ‘Stranger’

If someone is babysitting for you free of cost, consider it a favor.

Well, some parents do not take it as a favor, instead, they think it is the other person’s duty. A 24-year-old woman shared on Reddit that she does babysitting for her sister and BIL for free. They have a 1-year-old daughter “Ava”. It was OP’s sister’s anniversary and they asked OP three weeks in advance if she would be available for babysitting and she told them “yes” but then her plans changed. She informed 5 days before their anniversary that she won’t be available to babysit for them as she has other plans and that they should find another arrangement. Her sister didn’t reply so she thought it would be okay for her but the day OP had to go out, her sister came and dropped Ava off and didn’t listen to OP. She sat in the car and ran away. OP tried calling her but her phone was off. OP had no other option but to leave Ava with a stranger. This was when the family drama ensued. Scroll down for it.
