This situation is messy and confusing. I don't know how I got into this, but I am determined to get out of it.

I don’t talk to my brother much because he has a lot going on. He used to have the kind of life that many people wanted, but it seems he has ruined it. He has six kids with three women and is married to his second baby mom. His daughter with his third baby mom lives with him.

Having so many kids must be stressful, but they chose to have them. My brother cheated on his wife with his first baby mom. I think my sister-in-law lets him walk all over her.

My brother has cheated multiple times, but she has stayed with him. It's their marriage, and they make it work how they want. My SIL forgave him many times because of his bipolar disorder, but that shouldn't excuse cheating.

Right now, my SIL just had their second child while all this was happening. My brother is older but still very immature. One of his kids isn’t even his; he was raising a child that wasn’t his, and now he doesn’t want to be involved. The mother of the child doesn’t want to raise her either. Why have kids if you’re not ready to take care of them?

My SIL’s parents came to help her, but she didn’t take any kids with her. Now my brother is stuck with all the kids and is overwhelmed. He complains that it’s too much for him to handle! My SIL breastfed her kids, so they don’t use formula, and the breast milk she saved is running out. He lost his job recently because he was always late and smoked weed in the building.

I’m glad I don’t have kids and don’t live that life. I don’t understand why people have kids and then complain about needing a break. I have a trip to Canada with my boyfriend on Saturday, and I didn’t want anything to stop me. But then my brother called me after a long time.

I used to babysit for the family, but I stopped because I didn’t want to be used. My brother asked if I could take his baby and his three-year-old son because our mom doesn’t want to watch them anymore. I reported this to Child Protective Services so they can handle it.

My brother has too much going on. He gets his other kids on the weekends, so it’s crowded at his house. I told him he would need to find someone else because I had plans. That’s when he had a breakdown. He said he needed help and called me selfish. I told him I couldn't help him, so he should not contact me.
