To start this, I'm 17F and my daughter is 1, I've tried to move out more than once before but they make me legally stay with them saying that I have no family (I do) that would take me in. I'm not looking for criticism on the age I became a parent so please do not bring that up.

I take care of my daughter entirely without relying on my parents, I pay for her food, her nappies, and all of her expenses, I don't ask for babysitting unless I need to. My dad everytime my daughter is in the same room tells me "I'm not fucking babysitting" and tells me to shove my daughter in her chair in the kitchen which I don't like. We are not allowed in the living room without him yelling at me to "shut her up". I have been upstairs in the bedroom 24/7, I have been feeding my daughter there too because my dad doesn't like when she is loud but she is 1. I am not in any way going to make my daughter shut up or confine her to a bedroom all day so I have been taking her out of the house everyday but I can't afford to pay for food everyday and don't have time to make a packed one. I wouldn't mind these remarks except my dad is out everyday at the pub mostly and I have to babysit. He will say that him and my mum are only going to the shop then be out for 3/4 hours at a time and take the internet box with them which causes fights. My dad says it is to make them clean the house but most of the time it's me and my sister cleaning while my 3 brothers fight constantly. I am sick of taking care of 4 kids constantly then being shouted at that my dad doesn't want to babysit when he isn't babysitting.

So AITAH for being annoyed and would I be the AH if I refused to babysit for my parents?
