Hello. This is a burner account, i'd rather not upset my sister more. I am an Uncle of two girls. They are both my sisters, Tamia, so I see them often. My sister appreciates this help and I dont mind helping out. I babysit them on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays while their mother works. Though I love them equally, the Alisa, the oldest (8F) and Chrissy the youngest (5F), Chrissy tends to be the more rebellious one of the two, so I tend to resort to confiscating her source. She reacts loudly and defensively when I do this, so I never hear good things back from her mother about it. This time, I realized she had been sucked into her iPad on YouTube from Breakfast to sunset. I decided to offer her activities to do to get some around the house, but she refused. I asked her to give me her tablet, she refused. I had to take the tablet in order to get her interaction from the things around her. I am defending myself so hard because of how my sister reacted and antagonized me for this small thing. She called me mean, ridiculous, and unreasonable.

I simply don't understand how my needed discipline was in anyway abnormal, or ''mean''? Just asking, AITA?
