A woman shares her experience of being called out for not taking her six nieces and nephews to expensive places anymore. She explains how she used to treat them to fun places like amusement parks, museums, and fairs but lately she has been taking them to cheaper or free places like the park, free kids’ days at the museum, and swimming at her house.

When asked to take them to the fair, she expressed concern about the high cost and asked her sister to at least pay for some of it. However, her sister accused her of being selfish and not caring for her nieces and nephews. The woman is now wondering if she’s an AH for asking for help paying for expensive places.
