Lady Refuses To Babysit Her Boyfriend’s Nephew, His Mother Gets Mad At Her

Babysitting is quite a demanding gig. You need patience to handle tantrums and creativity to keep kids entertained. That’s where teachers shine; they already possess these skills, making babysitting a great side job for them. However, teachers have busy schedules which makes it tough for them to be available to babysit.

But let’s be real, babysitting isn’t always a blast for the sitter, even if the kids are having a blast. Running around in the summer heat or spending hours at the pool can be exhausting. Even playing endless rounds of hide and seek can wear you out.

In today’s story, one Reddit user faced a dilemma when her boyfriend wanted to babysit his wild nephew for the weekend. With a 2-year-old of her own and working long days, she needed rest. Despite her reasons, her boyfriend’s sister wasn’t pleased with her decision.

1. There could be a thousand reasons. Let’s find out!

2. The boyfriend’s sister wanted him to babysit her son so she could enjoy her birthday. When he took OP’s opinion, she simply said “No”.

3. OP had done a stretch for 12 days straight and needed that particular weekend to rest.

4. The experience wasn’t the best the last time her boyfriend tried to babysit his nephew.

5. The sister got mad at OP for saying no. She said it shouldn’t have been a problem for OP as her brother was going to look after the kid.

6. She blamed OP for her not being able to get her wanted break if the couple didn’t take up the babysitting duties.

7. OP understood the whole “wanting a break” part but she wanted one too.

8. And she had never done anything for OP’s child either. It was always OP who has made efforts for her nephew in the past.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:

10. If there is anyone who wants a break the most, it is OP.

11. He did say he would be the one looking after the kid so such an arrangement could be made possible.

This just goes to show how toxic entitlement is. And it is spreading at a very alarming rate, engulfing every soul it connects with. If the boyfriend wants to babysit the kid, he can just go to his sister’s house and do it there. OP doesn’t want to get involved in this and no one can force her to babysit that child.

Also, I feel like the boyfriend is saying he will take care of the nephew just to secure the arrangement and then he will transfer all the burden to OP. That’s how I think it will play out.

OP, you are NTA was saying “No”. No one is.
