Imagine being the only relative in town, working 60-100 hours a week, and having your trust betrayed by your own family. That's what happened to this hardworking woman, who made it clear to her brother and sister-in-law that she would only babysit their child in case of a serious emergency. However, the couple lied about a friend's accident to get free babysitting for their date nights. When the truth came out, the aunt vowed never to babysit again, even when a real emergency arose. 😡🤯
