Imagine having a childfree lifestyle and being forced to babysit your younger cousin. That’s the dilemma faced by Tina (19f), who’s been clashing with her dad over her newfound babysitting duties. After Tina’s aunt passed away, her family took in her 4-year-old cousin, Jenny, causing tensions to rise. Tina’s dad insists she helps out with childcare, but she’s not having it. Let’s dive into this family drama!

Forced Babysitting or Paying Rent: What’s Fair?

Tina’s dad is standing his ground, insisting she either helps with childcare or pays rent. With her monthly expenses already totaling over $1200, Tina begrudgingly agrees to babysit three days a week. Despite the family’s financial struggles and the challenges of adopting their niece, Tina’s dad believes he’s made the right decision. But, is it fair to force Tina to babysit when she’s so adamantly childfree? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
