NTA: Entitled parents expect free babysitting, stand your ground

NTA. Don’t let your entitled family guilt trip you

“NTA. They’re the parents. Childcare is their job to figure out. They don’t get to dump it on you because they’re too cheap to pay the actual going rate. Also, what exactly are you supposed to be ‘contributing to’ if you don’t even live with them and support yourself? If I were you, I would take advantage of that and put a stop to these conversations if they’re not willing or able to recognize that this is a *favor* they’re asking and not an obligation.” ♀️
