Babysitting Drama Unfolds
Our protagonist was enjoying his life running a small electronics shop and helping out his sister by babysitting her kids whenever needed. But when his sister made a snarky comment about his laid-back lifestyle at their grandmother’s 80th birthday party, he decided to quit babysitting and focus on being lazy. When his sister called him a selfish a**hole for not watching her kids, he simply replied, “Sorry you feel that way.” Now, even their mom is involved, saying he’s put his sister in a tough position. So, is our protagonist really a selfish a**hole, or is he just standing up for himself? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
