A lot of families have awkward generation gaps. I know a family that had two daughters two years apart, and had a 3rd daughter 19 years after the middle daughter was born. Talk about a big age gap! You really can’t expect your adult children to have the same kind of bond with their decades-younger …

19-year-old locks her bedroom door while family visits to keep little cousins out, only to be scolded by grandmother about it: ‘They have a right to be inside your room’
Being an older grandkid in a big family can be pretty annoying. You are not part of the adults, but you’re also too old to hang out with the kids. You are always expected to be the responsible one, to babysit the little ones, but you never get anything in return. You are stuck between …

Childfree 24-year-old aunt refuses to babysit for her sister’s energetic 2, 4, and 7-year-olds while she’s working from home, gladly babysits her brother’s calm 6-year-old twins: ‘I can’t watch a difficult kid while I work.’
Not every babysitter is suited for every group of kids. When I babysat as a teenager, I really only did it for chill, well-behaved kids who didn’t need a lot of redirection or discipline. They were the kind of kids with 5 million ideas for how we would play together, and I’d just roll with …

19-year-old daughter refuses to babysit three half-siblings after dad asks her to help his wife, dad gets the rest of the family involved: ‘He’s trying to dump his problems on me’
If you want to have many children, but counting on the older ones to help out with the younger ones, maybe don’t have many children. Older kids are not there to bear the responsibility over their younger siblings. The fact that they are the oldest shouldn’t affect their own childhood, and they shouldn’t be expected …

Neglectful babysitters refuse to change babies diaper, goes on rampage when their sister-in-law reports it to the mother of the baby: ‘[She] has trashed me to every family member she can think of’
The scariest thing about babies is that they can’t talk. Some might say the most frightening thing about them is the sensitivity of their soft spots or SIDS, but I would take a soft-headed baby who could speak like Stewie Griffin over a football-helmet-headed baby who only cries any day. I’m not saying that every …

17-year-old refuses to babysit his 38-year-old sister’s kids once after continuously doing it 5 days a week, gets grounded for putting friends above family: ‘I tried to defend myself but they didn’t listen’
«It takes a village to raise a child,» the classic quotation goes, but it doesn’t thoroughly examine the involvement of said village. To some, a village means pre-colonial communal raising of children, without the traditional post-colonial idea of a nuclear family with a mother and father. All of the adults in said village take responsibility …

Finding childcare can be a fraught experience for any parent. Getting a babysitter who is both competent and reliable often feels like an impossible challenge, not least when you have to do it on short notice.

17-year-old labels 25-year-old successful sister a ‘charity case’ after she refuses to help their mom with rent, claiming her success was all due to connections: ‘She acts like she’s better than us’
Many people these days believe that in order to succeed in life, you don’t really need talent anymore, all you need is to know the right people. Connections are much more important now than actual skill, which means that without knowing people who can help you get ahead, you don’t really stand a chance of …

Stepdaughter houses recently divorced stepmom and pays her to babysit her 2 and 5-year-old, stepmom abandons kids to go to a party: ‘My husband said that she needed to grow up and gain responsibility or get out’
There’s always some risk in accepting long-term guests into your home. Even if it’s your best friend, a family member, or someone who truly needs the help, it’s a big responsibility for you to house someone, and it’s an even bigger responsibility for the other person to be a good houseguest.

Dad cuts off his mom for feeding his allergic 4-year-old daughter cookies and cakes, refusing to babysit forcing him to lose out on a job offer: ‘Mom tells the entire family that I refuse to see her for no reason’
You can never really predict what kind of grandparent your parent will be. Your mom might’ve been strict and straight as a line during your childhood, but the second your kids are born, she’s all kinds of fun-loving and free-wheeling. In other cases, your parent might’ve been responsible and competent during childhood but constantly broke …
