šŸ“ AITAH for telling my sister to find another babysitter after she said I ā€œdon’t know real stressā€ ā€˜cause I don’t have kids?

So boom. I’m 30F, no kids, no husband, livin my best soft life. I got a decent job, my apartment stays clean, and I sleep like a baby every night. My sister (33F) has 3 little gremlins under the age of 7 and swears she’s the only person on Earth who’s ever been tired.

Last week she hits me up on some ā€œHey, can you watch the kids this weekend? Me and my husband need a break before we lose our minds.ā€

Cool. I was about to say yes, until she hits me with:

ā€œI mean, it’s not like you got anything going on. You don’t have kids. You’re probably just chillin anyway.ā€

Like girl… did you really just call me a free trial version of a human being?

So I told her flat out ā€œNah. You can find someone else since my ā€˜chill’ life apparently ain’t stressful enough to be respected.ā€

Now she’s mad mad, tellin the whole family I ā€œabandoned herā€ when she’s ā€œclearly drowning,ā€ and that I’m selfish ā€˜cause I wouldn’t step up ā€œjust this once.ā€ Like girl… you disrespected me mid request. You fumbled your favor bag.

Now our mom’s on the phone like, ā€œI get you’re upset, but it’s for the kidsā€¦ā€ And I’m like, that’s cute, but I’m not your emergency childcare plan just ā€˜cause I’m not sleep deprived and covered in Goldfish crumbs.

So… AITAH for refusing to babysit after she shaded my whole lifestyle like I’m not out here thriving?
