I (28F) work full-time and live about 40 minutes away from my sister (33F). She recently started a new job and asked me if I could pick up her 8-year-old daughter from school every weekday because her hours don’t allow her to get there in time.

I don’t drive — I rely on public transport, which means I’d need to take a bus and then walk about 15 minutes to the school, then do the whole trip back with a kid. I finish work around 3:30, and her daughter gets out at 4, so technically it’s possible, but barely. I told her I’m sorry, but I really don’t have the energy or time for that every single day.

I suggested she look into a sitter, carpool, or after-school program. She got mad and told me I’m “choosing convenience over family” and that I “never step up when it matters.”

For context, I have helped in the past — I’ve babysat when she had emergencies, taken her daughter on weekends, even helped her move last year. I just don’t want to commit to being a daily chauffeur, especially when I’m not even driving.

Now she’s barely talking to me, and my mom says I could’ve done it just for a few weeks while my sister “settles in.”

I honestly don’t think I’m wrong for saying no to something that would completely drain me, but now I’m feeling guilty.

So… AITA?
