AITA For Saying I Won't Babysit My Sister's Kids On... - Best Reddit Stories ----- AITA For Saying I Won't Babysit My Sister's Kids On An Upcoming Family Vacation, I'll Travel Alone And Pay For My Own Room ----- For as long as I can remember, my family has treated me as the designated babysitter, especially when it came to my older sister’s triplet boys. It started small—keeping an eye on them at gatherings—but over time, it became an unspoken rule that I was responsible for them whenever we were together. The breaking point came last year during a family vacation to the coast. My parents paid for my hotel room, but what they failed to mention was that I’d be sharing it with my nephews. My sister and her husband had their own room, and I was stuck watching the kids the entire trip. I barely got to do anything I wanted, and even when I insisted on visiting an art gallery, I was rushed through it while my nephews whined the entire time. When I complained, I was reminded that my trip was "free"—as if that justified turning me into an unpaid nanny. This year, when another family beach trip was planned, I put my foot down. I told my parents I’d be driving myself and paying for my own hotel room to avoid getting roped into babysitting again. My sister was furious, accusing me of being selfish and “ruining” the vacation. My parents guilt-tripped me, saying my sister needed a break, but I refused to budge. Things escalated when my sister showed my parents a Reddit post I made about the situation, expecting them to take her side. Instead, they were horrified by the sheer number of people agreeing with me. They finally confronted my sister about how unfairly I’d been treated, which led to explosive arguments. In the end, the entire trip was canceled, my nephews were devastated, and my sister blamed me for everything. She called me during my lunch break to berate me, saying I had “no life” and should help her because I had no real responsibilities. I recorded the call and sent it to our parents, which only made things worse for her. My parents, furious at her attitude, told her she needed to take responsibility for her own family. Meanwhile, her husband—who had always been hands-off—distanced himself from the situation entirely, leaving her to deal with the consequences on her own. Extended family got involved, with some supporting me and others trying to guilt me back into submission. But I stood firm. I wasn’t the one who had promised my nephews a beach trip—I wasn’t the one who had built up their expectations only for it to fall apart. My sister had taken for granted that I’d always be there to pick up the slack, and when I refused, everything crumbled. Now, my sister and I aren’t speaking, but my parents have finally admitted they were wrong for pushing me into this role. I no longer feel guilty for standing my ground. I’ve spent too long being taken advantage of, and I refuse to let it happen again. Instead of a forced family trip, I’m now planning a vacation on my own terms—one where I can actually enjoy myself. And honestly? I’ve never felt more free. ----- #redditfamily #reddit #familyrelationships #redditstories
