Living with her son, husband, and two younger half-sisters, a mother feels upset and frustrated after discovering that her son had found a job without telling her. The issue at hand is that her son was the primary caregiver for his sisters during the hours when she was at work. With her husband being a pilot and traveling frequently, and paid childcare not an option, the mother is left without someone to care for her daughters. Despite her son’s reasoning that he needed the job to save money and pay for his entertainment, the mother feels that he is being selfish and inconsiderate of the family’s needs. The situation has caused tension and arguments within the family, with the mother feeling that her son is not showing enough respect for their struggling situation. However, her daughters are uncomfortable with the idea of a babysitter, and her son only stays with them when he wants to. In the comments and reactions, people are divided on who is right and offer various solutions to the issue at hand.
