If someone does not want to look after your babies, stop forcing them.
A lot of parents think that they can make their brothers/sisters babysit for them for free but that’s not how it works. They are your babies and you are responsible for them. You cannot expect others to fulfill your duties. An unmarried man took to Reddit to share how his SIL wanted him to look after her baby. OP’s SIL and brother moved to their parents’ home because their lease ended. OP was living with his parents because he wanted to look after his parents when they get old.
OP’s brother and SIL came to the house and moved to his room. Then SIL had objections to OP’s cooking so he stopped cooking certain meals because SIL was pregnant. SIL was treating OP as her maid and they always had a fight. When SIL gave birth to her baby, she was expecting OP to babysit her baby. One day, she asked OP to watch the baby while she goes to the pharmacy but OP refused. SIL took her bag and tried running from the house while leaving her baby with OP. OP told her that he will be calling the cops for child abandonment. Scroll down to read what SIL did next.

“So I adopted Leia a little under a month ago, she’s 3 and she doesn’t like cuddling and I’m just confused but the only other cat I had was my brothers for 15 years and was old and loved cuddling. Is this a behavior she might learn as she grows and becomes more comfortable?”
