My Family Hijacked My Vacation Plans For My Golden Sister And Her Kids. But....-Reddit Family Tales

[@TA-qm2jf]

They miss aunt Lizzie and ask for her so much because she is the one practically raising them

[@cathyjolivet]

To het own detriment; she's not married because she doesn't have tone to have her own life to try to date.

[@lamoskgr]

Oh you're right

[@AlexReddit-r5h]

can you check me out?

[@UnderworldTalesss]

I get what you’re saying, but don’t you think it’s a little unfair to assume Aunt Lizzie should carry all the responsibility? Maybe the parents are trying their best too

[@american6183]

Those poor orphans. 😂 Seriously, the bio "parents" need real counseling.

[@marcushallin4594]

The father and Jack are the two reasonable ones. Makes me happy to see that atleast two of them are open to compromise and validating op's feelings

[@lopsidedc0rn875]

There was a halfhearted attempt it seems like. At least those two appear to have some shame for their part.

[@jestersreign7530]

It sounds like those two are married to the same kind of woman. You know manipulative controlling

[@deborahbutcher3933]

The proper response to: 'you're jealous' is a deadpan 'you're right, I should not babysit in case the jealousy gets the best of me'.

[@UnderworldTalesss]

Oh wow, that’s a clever response! It’s definitely got that perfect mix of sarcasm and boundaries. I love how it flips the narrative back on them. Thanks for sharing this gem

Should have taken the promotion and moved away, and _then_ told her family why she wasn't available to babysit anymore. Also... SISTER: You're just bitter because you'er still single. OP: If being married is so wonderful, _why are you trying to escape from your married life every week?_

[@doncjack5913]

Definitely agree that OP should have went NC with them instead of being in their toxic lives.

[@racheldavin7763]

At 19:17 So the family's consession was to allow her to have every other weekend off? How effing magnanimous of them!!!

[@pop2522]

[@UnderworldTalesss]

Preach! Every other weekend off feels more like a punishment disguised as a gift. It’s so frustrating to see that level of entitlement. Thanks for sharing your spot-on reaction!

[@DTDplays]

The fucking audacity of her family members!

[@readerstoryteller]

They miss Aunt Lizzie and keep asking about her because she’s the one who’s practically been like a second mom to them.

Yup. "Wheres the adult who would love us and pay attention to us?"

[@dlc563]

I say her family stole her life from her…she just took it back. The entitlement of OP’s family of her has affected her career, chance to find a partner, and all of her free time. Then they have the nerve to bad mouth her. They are still trying to steal her future and happiness for their own greedy wants.

"Strangely" my cousin take out the post in the next minute.😂😂😂😂😂 My sister is wild!

[@silverblaze46]

At least she didn’t charge people to watch the kids just to get some extra cash. I know it sounds far-fetched, but it popped into my head when I heard of one of those apple tech stories where one sister was gonna tell the protagonist of that story you’re going to watch my kids and you’re gonna have to pay for the privilege of seeing them.

[@fabiolyrio7814]

@silverblaze46 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NettersNetwork]

she chose to have kids. They aren't yours. She and her husband need to parent them, not you. Also all that your parents did for you? when you multiply zero x zero, you still get zero

[@kathleencowley7772]

Bravo!

[@jordansweet8054]

And that's why I hate kids. They always become my problem despite not being my problem. I understand it's hard for parents but you made the decision. I've already told my brother and multiple friends not to bother me with that when they have kids.

[@DatsMac]

Frickin' ai!

[@CG-yb6zj]

To me, by the dad stating, "We only did what we thought best for the family," was an unconscious way he admitted they only saw KATE and them as family, never including OP. Hell, him seeing no issue about approaching his DAUGHTER like he's negotiating terms with a disgruntled Nanny that's quit is sad and sickening. He and BIL may 'regret' their actions, but they were more aware than the others of the actions not being okay, especially BIL, but continued their abuse (and that's what it was, Abuse) only talking in DEFENSE of it when OP tried leaving before all this. They just feel guilty, but don't regret anything.

[@mischievousmotives9828]

Could have happened a lot sooner but atleast the dad realized he screwed up and isn’t emotionally blaming her. He’s someone id try to reconnect with.

[@Shishiochan]

Nah, screw dad. He didn't properly apologise. He only said they did what they thought was best for "the family". Is OP not family? They treated her like a house elf from Harry Potter!

[@randycarter2001]

I don't think those twins are missing auntie. It's more like their mother is coercing them to guilt OP into returning to the babysitting duties.

[@Ahalaia]

Funny how the sister is saying 'selfish sister' about OP when all OP wants is some time to herself and not be a slave to her sisters child care demands. Sis is the selfish sister here not considering how this has all affected OP.

It could be part of the family’s culture. Though this does happen in some American families, I believe that this may be an Asian or Indian family, where roles that differ from more “traditional” ones all but refuse to be understood. This one is extreme though. When will OP have the opportunity to find her own match? To start her own family?

[@alexhulea2735]

why is saying 'hell no' to babysitting so damned hard? the second my sister announced her pregnancy i made it clear that i don't want kids visiting, and i will never, for all the money in the world, babysit. kids in my family are hurricanes of distruction until age 8 or 9. both me and my sister were like that, our step brother from our father's second marriage was like that, and so is my nephew. if i want to see him and ruin her day (my sister hates anime, so i got my nephew into child-friendly anime; he likes to watch with the volume at ridiculous levels), i ask for permission to visit and then go home.

[@Drowned_Brother]

Sometimes Saying no is hard, coming from a psychological perspective (Pysch student) people who come from circumstances with extreme emotional manipulation find it hard as they will experience extreme guilt and anxiety. Op has also stated that they were disregarded as a child and I believe they went through a form of neglect, neglected and abused children often can't grasp without therapy that they aren't at fault because it is easier to think you are what's wrong then realise that the people who are meant to care for you don't care. The people will often think that they will be pushed aside for good and they aren't worth anything unless doing specific things that give them worth. Sorry this is a long Read just trying to shed some light!

[@alexhulea2735]

@Drowned_Brother most interesting reads are long. Thx for the explanation 😁

[@gurglequeen433]

OP grew up basically being trained to accept that her sisters needs and wants will always be more important then her own. It's hard to say no when you grow up in a situation like that.

[@candacestamper6769]

My siblings couldn't be trusted with a kid when I had my son. Most of them still can't. But I have changed up who my son will go to if anything happens to me: my younger sister because I'm not just so proud of who she's become but she puts in the effort with me, my son, and our dad (who I care for and I cared for my mom before she passed too). She really feels bad about the past and has made amends. That being said, even if they had been perfect siblings, I would never have asked this of them. Even though, my older sister got pregnant at 13 and I had to help raise her baby and babysit for the two kids she had after that. I was 8 at the time of her first pregnancy. My parents adopted her son. Not much was expected of me, but he was born addicted to meth and almost died three times. So I wanted to be a good big sister. (He's awful now, though. I wouldn't piss to put him out if he was on fire. And I have OAB so I would literally have to hold it.) I don't get this whole "your sibling had a baby so now you do too" thing we hear in so many of these stories.

[@SandraNelson063]

Alone doesn't mean lonely.

[@XioJade20]

Im sorry that OPs family is like this. Im glad OP did what she did for herself. As a mom to twins, I never expect my siblings or family to come to my aid on demand. They are my and my husbands responsibility. Im glad you are finding yourself, finding peace, and taking the steps to do and continue to do so

[@ogieoglethorpe3788]

here is how easy this is............ me...........i got a promotion i no longer have time to babysit mom.........well who is going to watch the kids me............i dont know and IDGAF who watches them BUT it wont be me. BTW did i mention im moving? and no you cant have my address or new phone number

[@dulcilass]

That's basically what a former co-worker of mine did. She did have one advantage in that she had several co-workers who really stepped up to help her after they found her crying in the break room. She was a really sweet kid who had a really controlling family. After sitting her down, and talking with her fellow staff members, she found one who happened to have a spare room that she could use. This got her physically out of being a close distance from her family. She would be on the opposite side of the city and no longer in an apartment of her own, It had been just so easy for her older brother and sister to just dump their 2 sets of kids off on her. Another unexpected result of the crying jag was that a male colleague got so angry with her family that his knight in shining armor streak came to the fore. He got his nerve up and asked her out. So she had no time to spare for her demanding family as people at work were watching over her and doing things with her. As I said she was a really sweet kid. She wouldn't have used a IDGAF to her mother, but the group cheered on the day she said quite forcefully that she'd moved and wasn't coming home to baby sit the kids as she'd found a new place to live.

[@mmm5x5]

Hearing they had a two-day hotel stay before they went back to their apartment validated the heck out of me and my experience when I live back with my most abusive abuser.

I was in my forties before I could cut my toxic family out of my life. My mother died two months ago, she was begging everyone in the family to get in touch with me so that she could die peacefully with all her family around her. She wanted ME to apologise to her. In death she was still as narcissistic as she was in life, all about here. Eventually my daughter got a call to me, I said I wouldn't be going. I wasn't invited to the funeral. I have probably lost my daughter over this, as she loved her grandmother. Then again she was very much like her so it's no real loss.
