Babysitting is no simple task, that’s why we pay babysitters and nannies the big bucks. Children, especially toddlers, can be notoriously difficult to wrangle. You need the right amount of patience, level-headedness, and willingness to tire yourself out. Not to mention it’s a huge amount of responsibility. If something goes wrong, you need to be …

‘He’s mad at being forced to look after his own child’: Husband refuses to assist pregnant wife with their toddler, claims he’s ‘off duty’
As any parent can tell you, parenting is a full-time job. It may not pay the bills, but it sure takes a lot out of you. It doesn’t stop when you go to sleep, or when you’re watching TV, or even when you’re on vacation. You’re a parent 24 hours a day, 7 days a …

‘Her children are not your siblings’: 19-year-old son refuses to babysit for dad’s 7th wife, she calls him ‘a grown man who should know better’
Babysitting is a profession for a reason. It’s not easy work. Sure, millions of mothers do it without being paid, but that’s because it’s their kid.

Entitled woman flips out at gender reveal after finding out she’s having a boy, sister refuses to comfort her and faces the backlash of her family: ‘My sister’s temper tantrum saddened me’
Gender reveals are always a dubious idea. At worst, they literally start wildfires. At best, they’re random celebrations. I sort of understand wanting to event-ize finding out the chromosomal makeup of your baby, but if that’s the case, then you have to prepare yourself for either option. You can’t be disappointed in the news if …

‘You’re not a part of their family’: 20-year-old mom asks 16-year-old brother to babysit every night unpaid, won’t refer to him as ‘uncle,’ only as ‘babysitter’
It’s nice to do favors for your family now and again. It’s what they’re for. We all need each other in order to survive, and we have to come through for each other. For example, if your beloved sister just gave birth, you might offer to come over to her house and help clean, or …

‘Spending quality time with us doesn’t matter to him’: Inattentive husband asks 38-weeks pregnant wife to leave his birthday party early, wife refuses to attend
Birthday parties should be all about the birthday haver. It’s their day to do whatever they feel like doing. They get to choose what food they eat, what activities they do, and who is around them for it. It’s the one day of the year when you get to be utterly selfish. But, you’d expect, …

‘Do you like to refuse to show empathy?’: Judgmental grandmother refuses to take care of 3-year-old and 4-year-old while her son takes 1-year-old on a trip, calls it ‘favoritism’
Favoritism is not something you want to get accused of as a parent. If you have more than one kid, you should do your best to love them and support them equally, since they’re all your kids. And it’s just a good example to set for them. But it’s also incredibly common that parenting styles …

Husband gets angry when wife says ‘What’s the story macaroni’ to her 5-year-old and 4-year-olds, tells her it’s ‘childish’: ‘Tell him to lighten up’
Children are notoriously hard to calm down. They will get upset at something that doesn’t make sense to you, like not being able to have ice cream for dinner, and then nothing will make them feel better. You try reasoning with them, you try bargaining, you try bribes… you do whatever it takes to get …
