Two Entitled Sisters With Five Children Learn Delayed Lesson In Responsibility After Failing To Manipulate Their Younger Sister Into Babysitting For Free
When you allow people to walk all over you, they will take every opportunity to use it to their advantage. A 17-year-old Redditor almost got roped into babysitting her nieces and nephews.
OP, her twin sister Anna, and their older sisters Carly & Lilith all live with their parents. Lilith has three children, and Carly has two.
OP's older sisters do not pay rent or contribute to any of the household bills because they are unemployed. They have been relying on their mom to help with their children.
Their mom spoils the hell out of Lilith and Carly. OP's dad encourages his two older daughters to grow up but doesn't interfere because of how much his wife babies their two older daughters.
Tensions are at an all-time high with so many people in the house. Their dad suggested a vacation for all of them to get a little breather.
Lilith and Carly will go on a trip with their friends. OP and Anna will go on a separate vacation together.
Lilith and Carly agreed to hire and pay for a babysitter for their five children while they are away. They backed out when they saw how much they would be paying a sitter to take care of five children for seven days.
They were having dinner when Lilith mentioned her bright idea for OP to babysit all of the kids
u/Bananafryer456She said Anna can come with her and Carly when OP asked about her vacation with her twin
u/Bananafryer456OP's parents and Anna immediately argued against Lilith's ridiculous plan
u/Bananafryer456They said Lilith and Carly are adults who can't just use another person as a servant
OP's parents finally realized how awful Lilith and Carly became. They gave them a week to step up and contribute to household expenses if they don't want to be evicted.
u/Bananafryer456OP should borrow some of her twin's energy and put her foot down against her two entitled older sisters
Slight_Nail_5869If they couldn't handle having one kid, what made them think adding more will solve the problem?
PracticalPrimroseThey've never truly had to be responsible for their choices because their parents were always there to rescue them

Lilith and Carly are walking PSAs against teen pregnancy

They got so used to OP never opposing them and thought she'll be okay with their brilliant plan. Their wrong move will now force them to grow up no matter how much they refuse.

Five children under 10, the youngest of whom is just a year old. Sounds like a job for a 17-year-old.

They are probably brainstorming how they can wiggle their way out of this mess

It took them long enough. The ultimatum was at least given at the right moment.

Not one mention of the fathers of the kids. Where are they and why aren't Lilith & Carly bothering them instead of OP?

I wonder if OP would have given in without Anna's and their parents' backing

OP and Anna should enjoy their trip guilt-free because none of this mess involves them

OP added a few details about the fathers of her sisters children

Lilith and Carly are both pros at this. They definitely didn't go down without one last manipulative move.
u/Bananafryer456
What a great dinner for OP! She will go on a trip with her favorite sister and return to a more peaceful house.
In one fell swoop, OP eased everyone's stress levels and saved her parents a lot of money. She also helped her two older sisters learn about responsibility, although they will never thank her for it.
