Teen Hides From Sister To Avoid Being Handed Screaming Baby

Babies can be a handful, especially when they’re crying uncontrollably. For one 14-year-old girl, her sister’s baby’s screaming fits are just too much to handle. After a disagreement with her older sister, the young girl decided to avoid helping with the baby altogether, even hiding behind the couch to avoid being handed the crying infant. Now, her parents are telling her that she was being immature and that her sister was just sleep-deprived and stressed. But was she really being selfish? Some might say she was justified in refusing to subject anyone to her terrible singing. Read on to find out if she’s the a**hole or not.

Teen refuses to calm screaming baby after argument with sister

A teenager has sparked a debate after refusing to calm her sister’s crying baby following an argument. The 14-year-old had previously sung a song to soothe the baby, but stopped after her older sister criticized her singing. When the baby began crying during a meltdown, the teenager refused to calm her with her singing, leading to a standoff between the sisters. The teenager even went so far as to hide from her sister to avoid being forced to help. While some have criticized the teenager for being immature and selfish, others have pointed out that she is not responsible for her sister’s child and should not be forced to do something she is uncomfortable with. What do you think? Should the teenager apologize or was she justified in her actions? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
