She Won’t Babysit For Her Sister Anymore After She Got Accused Of Stealing Her Sister’s Wedding Ring
There are few feelings worse than being accused of something you didn’t do. One woman was recently wrongfully accused of stealing her sister’s wedding ring, so she refused to babysit her kids in return.
She’s 25 and has a 32-year-old sister named Emily. Emily has three young kids, all under 10 years old. She loves her nieces and nephews, and since they were born, she’s been Emily’s go-to babysitter.
She spends a lot of time at Emily’s house, watching her kids for sometimes days on end whenever Emily or her husband has a work emergency or overnight plans.
She and Emily had a great dynamic for a while until recently, when she got a panicked phone call from her.
“Emily called me in a panic, saying she had lost her wedding ring,” she said.
“She asked if I had seen it, and I genuinely hadn’t. I helped her search the entire house, but we couldn’t find it. Emily was really upset, but we eventually gave up.”
A few days later, the ring hadn’t turned up, and Emily called her again, this time in tears, accusing her of stealing the ring the last time she was at her house.
Emily said she couldn’t think of anyone else who would’ve taken it, considering she was the last person in her home other than her husband and kids.
“I tried to convince her that I would never do such a thing, but she wouldn’t listen,” she recalled.

“She even threatened to call the police if I didn’t return it. I couldn’t believe my own sister would think so little of me.”
Unfortunately, her parents got involved in the drama and sided with Emily. They began telling her it was suspicious that the ring had gone missing right after she visited and kept encouraging her to “confess” to taking it.
Despite all the allegations, she stood her ground and insisted she didn’t take the ring.
Surprisingly, in the middle of all the chaos, she got a call from Emily, asking her to babysit her kids while she dealt with a work emergency. She told Emily no that she wouldn’t help someone who accused her of being a thief.
“She called me selfish and said I was punishing her kids for something they had nothing to do with,” she added.
“My parents are now furious with me, saying that family should stick together no matter what and that I’m being petty and immature.”
Since refusing to babysit, the ring allegations have only gotten worse, and there’s even more tension in her family.
Should she apologize for refusing to babysit, or is her family being ridiculous?
