Her Stepsister Expected Her To Agree To Babysit Since She Already Does This For Her Brother, But She Doesn’t Want To Have A Relationship With Her Stepsister At All, So She Told Her No
This woman’s brother has 3 young children who are all under the age of 4, and she frequently babysits for her brother.
Now, she also has a stepsister who has a 7-month-old baby, but she does not consider her stepsister to be a sibling of hers.
She doesn’t even have a relationship with her stepsister at all, though, and they were never friendly growing up, either.
“We weren’t close when my dad married her mom, and her mom was my dad’s affair partner, and she was the kid who thought it was great, so my brother and I didn’t really like her for that,” she explained.
“She thought we were brats who couldn’t accept that her mom was better than ours, and that’s why the affair wasn’t a bad thing.”
“We ended up choosing as older teenagers not to see our dad anymore. He kept trying to keep us in his life. But he broke our mom’s heart, and he broke our trust.”
Additionally, her dad gave her and her brother zero time to process the fact that he was splitting up with their mom.
Just three days after her dad followed through with the divorce, he moved in with the woman he cheated on her mom with. Next, her dad tried to market her new stepsister as her actual “sister.”
So, when she decided to cut her dad out of her life, she did not cut out her dad’s family; she has remained in contact with them, and they have, in turn, kept in touch with her dad’s new family.

One week ago, her dad’s family actually gave her phone number to her stepsister, and she was shocked when her stepsister reached out to ask if she could babysit for her.
Apparently, her stepsister found out that she babysits for her brother, so her stepsister figured she would say yes to doing the same for her. She told her stepsister she would not agree to babysit for her, but her stepsister wasn’t willing to accept no so quickly.
“She tried to pull the family card, and I told her we were never family and to ask her parents for help or the people who gave her my contact info,” she said.
“Then I told my aunts and uncles whoever give her my info was wrong. My aunt, who gave it to her, said it wouldn’t have killed me to get to know my niece and to help my stepsister when I do it for my brother all the time.”
“I told her the difference is he’s my brother, and his kids are my nieces and nephews, and my stepsister and her kid are not those things.”
Even though she told her stepsister no, her stepsister called her another time, still wanting her to babysit. She didn’t pick up the phone, and then her stepsister texted her, calling her a mean name.
Her aunt then found out about her refusing to babysit for her stepsister, and her aunt believes she’s just “being petty.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to say no to babysitting for her stepsister. What do you think?
