AITA for refusing to answer my sister’s video call so she can see her baby
Context: My sister had a planned pregnancy that involves having the baby father not being around and is “determined” to be an independent mom.
She gave birth. Had to give up her lease and move in with us at a different state. Not a short few time after, she managed to get her dream job. Knowing that she still has her 6 month old baby to take care off. This job was not a limited time position and is always hiring in masses every few months or so.
She took the job. Had to relocate to another state and left us with her baby. I quit my work before she came so she expected me to just take care of her baby.
She calls everyday to see her baby and at first that’s not an issue to me. At some point it just became very depressing for me that this past few months, all I have been doing is taking care of her baby while her IG stories are just her having fun on her job and partying at clubs on her day offs. She does come home once a WHILE when she feels like it to see her baby.
Mind you, with her line of work. She is able to fly freely to other states without any expense on her behalf.
Recently I expressed what I felt about watching her baby and she called me rude and selfish and that it was my fault for not having a job. And in her own words” You’re family, you’re supposed to help me out”.
Mind you I did have some job offerings but could not take them due to the fact that the hours I have to work is the hours that I have to...
