AITA For Refusing To Babysit The Kids At My Brother's Wedding, Everyone Said It Was My Duty... ----- AITA For Refusing To Babysit The Kids At My Brother's Wedding, Everyone Said It Was My Duty, After I Refused Everyone Started Calling Me Selfish, And They Canceled My Invitation To The Wedding... ----- Hi, I am Sarah, twenty-six years old, from Ohio. I come from a big family where everyone fell into a "role" — and mine was always the helper. For years, I babysat my siblings' kids, ran errands, and dropped everything for "family emergencies," often without thanks, because it was just expected of me. When my oldest brother James got married, I thought I would finally get to enjoy being a guest at a family event. I spent money on a new dress, took unpaid days off work, and genuinely looked forward to it. But a month before the wedding, James and his fiancée Lily pulled me aside and asked if I would babysit all the kids — about fifteen of them — for the entire ceremony and reception, without pay or professional help. When I politely declined, everything exploded. James and my parents accused me of being selfish. A week later, they formally rescinded my wedding invitation but still expected me to come to the brunch the next day to help clean up. Turns out, they had actually hired professional babysitters anyway — they just hoped to save money by guilt-tripping me. The wedding itself ended up a disaster: the babysitters showed up late, kids ran wild, the cake was ruined, decorations were destroyed, and guests left early. My cousins, many of whom boycotted the wedding in support of me, later told me how messy it all became. Meanwhile, I spent the weekend at a cabin with friends, laughing, eating, and finally choosing peace over obligation. In the aftermath, I decided to step back from my family. Some tried to guilt-trip me into apologizing, but I stayed firm. Surprisingly, my youngest sister Emily reached out with a real apology, realizing how unfair things had been. Now, I am focusing on myself — taking yoga classes, planning trips with friends, and living on my own terms. James and Lily are trying to plan a second reception to "redo" their wedding, but I will not be attending. For the first time in my life, I chose myself — and I am not looking back. ----- #redditfamily #reddit #familyrelationships #redditstories
