Brother Names Sister His 'Free Babysitter' Without Asking, Igniting a Reddit Firestorm
A woman's Reddit post goes viral after her brother and his girlfriend designated her as their future child's full-time babysitter without her consent. The story sparks a debate on family obligations and personal boundaries.
How much can you ask of family? A recent post on Reddit has ignited a fierce debate after a woman revealed her brother and his girlfriend designated her as their full-time babysitter—without ever consulting her. The story transcends simple family drama, asking a pointed question about the meaning of family and personal boundaries in the modern world.
The Unilateral 'Decision'
The original poster, user u/Apprehensive-Fox2655, was looking forward to reclaiming her time after years of parenting, as her youngest child had just started school. But her relief was short-lived. At a Thanksgiving gathering, she learned the happy news that her brother and his girlfriend were expecting their first child. This was immediately followed by the baffling discovery that they had been telling friends and relatives she would be the primary babysitter, treating it as a done deal.
The core issue was the complete lack of communication. According to the Reddit post, the couple's entire plan for taking care of their baby was seemingly built on the false assumption of her free, full-time labor. While she wouldn't have minded helping out occasionally, she had no intention of becoming an unpaid nanny and sacrificing her own newfound freedom and hobbies.
Gym Time vs. Hobbies: A Clash of Priorities
The conflict came to a head when she confronted her brother directly. Both he and his girlfriend are avid gym-goers and feared that caring for a baby would disrupt their fitness routines. His justification was that the child was more important than her hobbies, essentially arguing that she should make the sacrifice so they wouldn't have to.
Stunned by his entitlement, she flatly refused and hung up. She then turned to Reddit for a reality check, where she received overwhelming support. Commenters lambasted the brother's selfish attitude, affirming that parents are responsible for their own children and cannot simply outsource that duty to family members for free.
