Family drama alert! 20-year-old me has been stuck in a babysitting bind with my sister for far too long. I’ve been watching her little one since day one, but lately, it’s been non-stop! We’re talking 5 days a week, 9 AM to 6 PM shifts. I’m missing work, spending my own money on food and gas, and my sis keeps promising to pay me… but never does! It’s time to put my foot down and ask for some compensation. But will this cause a family feud? Let’s dive into this juicy tale of babysitting woes and family drama!

Auntie Duties Turn Sour: Should I Be Paid?
After a year and a half of being my sister’s go-to babysitter, I finally mustered up the courage to ask for compensation. I mean, I love my niece to bits, but I’m missing work, spending my own money, and barely have time for myself! When I asked for a reasonable $10/hour, my sister flipped out, told me to get my stuff, and cut ties! Her husband even thinks I shouldn’t want to be paid for “spending time with my niece.” It’s a tough situation, but I’m proud of myself for standing up for what I deserve. Now, let’s see what the internet has to say about this family drama! Should auntie duties come with a paycheck? Or am I being unreasonable? The debate is on! ️
