Her Sister Unexpectedly Dropped Off Her Niece To Be Babysat, But Later Insulted The Food She Fed Their Kids, Saying It Was “Gross” And Not “Real Dinner”
Sometimes, when friends or family members are jealous of you, they will find any excuse to nitpick and insult you.
One woman recently got into a fight with her sister, who’s resented her for a few years, after she insulted the decent meal she gave their kids while babysitting for her.
She’s 30 and has two young sons. One is six, and the other is two-years-old. She has an older sister who is in her late 30s. Growing up, they had a decent relationship, but things changed when she got pregnant with her first son.
At the time, her sister was 30 and drastically struggling to have a baby. Her sister wanted a baby so badly and was jumping through several hoops to get pregnant. Then, she and her husband got pregnant without trying, which hurt her relationship with her sister, and everything between them changed.
“I think jealousy is what created the cracks that still exist in our relationship,” she explained.
“I was very aware of how painful it would be for my sister. She was actively trying to have a baby and had not been successful while I didn’t try or plan to have kids just yet, and a birth control failure resulted in an unplanned pregnancy for us.”
She tried to have several heart-to-heart conversations with her sister to level with her and let her know she understood how difficult everything had been for her. Still, her sister made it clear their relationship had changed because of her pregnancies.
She and her sister went from talking every day to hardly speaking, and things only got worse when she became pregnant with her second son. But then, thankfully, when her sister finally got pregnant with her daughter, things got better.
“We did a lot together when my youngest and niece were first born, and we talked about how they’d have play dates and how we could do fun outings with all three,” she said.

“Then, around six months ago, it got worse again. I have no idea why or what caused it. But it all accumulated into an incident two weeks ago.”
A few weeks ago, her sister unexpectedly dropped by her house and asked if she could watch her niece for the evening. She accepted as she had babysat all three kids before.
Her sister came back for her daughter as she was serving the kids dinner, which consisted of homemade chicken tacos with a side of sautéed veggies, some dip, and fresh berries.
Her sister acted appalled by the food she was serving, telling her it was gross, that it wasn’t a real dinner, and that she should know better than to give the kids that meal.
Then, her sister continued venting, insulting the food she made at Christmas and telling her how she fed her boys was weird.
“I told her to stop acting like I was doing something wrong, and she told me I was,” she recalled.
“She brought up how my kids don’t finish their food, and it just escalated badly. It felt like she was taking everything from the last seven years out on me, and I told her I was not babysitting anymore and not to call on me for help with my niece anymore. She called me a bad sister and left.”
Did she do anything wrong, or is her sister still harboring a lot of resentment?
