NTA and holy shit, your sister and her husband are horrible

NTA. Your sister and BIL are acting entitled and have taken advantage of you and your generosity for too long. It’s unacceptable and they are just angry that you don’t want to be taken advantage anymore. Succinctly put: they find it disrespectful you aren’t letting them disrespect you anymore. There is no reason these kids’ father shouldn’t, you know, parent them, after he got laid off. The fact that he expressed that his own kids were being ‘pushed’ on him and your sister…heartbreaking for the kids and upsetting on multiple levels. You’ve done MORE than enough and you owe them nothing.

NTA, they’ve been using you. Time for a change!
