Meet our protagonist, a 25-year-old woman caught in the middle of a sibling rivalry. Her sister, a single mom, has a two-year-old boy, and her brother, living a few states away, has a one-year-old girl. While our protagonist is happy to help her sister out on rare occasions, her brother seems to think she’s his personal babysitter whenever he’s in town. Let’s dive into this family drama and see if our protagonist is really being unfair.

Is Our Protagonist Being Unfair? ♀️
So here’s the situation: our protagonist is more than willing to help her sister with her nephew on the rare occasion she’s asked, but her brother seems to think she’s his personal babysitter whenever he’s in town. She’s tired of being forced into the role of Aunt Corgi, the superhero babysitter, and finally puts her foot down. Her brother argues that she’s being unfair, but she believes there’s a clear difference between voluntarily helping her sister and being forced to take on his parental responsibilities. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
