When your sister calls your life “stress-free” as a setup to ask for a favor, it might not land the way she thinks it will.
That’s what happened here when one woman (u/KindViolett)—living her childfree life—was asked to babysit her sister’s three young kids for the weekend.
She was on the verge of saying yes, until the request came with a jab about how easy her life must be without kids.
What followed was a firm boundary, a bit of family fallout, and some surprisingly spicy group chat energy.
The situation raises a pretty relatable question: is it selfish to say no to helping when someone downplays your entire lifestyle? Or is it fair to set limits when people cross the line?
Dive into the full post from Reddit to see how it all went down—and decide for yourself who’s really out of line.
