My older sister (20F) recently had a baby with her husband, but I (16M) haven’t met my nephew yet, and honestly, I don’t really care to. However, my sister and parents want me to babysit for her every day after school until 11 PM so that her husband can work and she can have some time to herself. The problem is, I have a part-time job that I’d need to quit if I agreed to this, and honestly, my sister and I aren’t close. She’s always been mean to me, and our parents think she can do no wrong, especially now that she\u2019s married and has a kid at 20, which they see as the ideal path for all of us.<\/p>\n
To give you an idea of how bad our relationship is, my sister even asked me to change my name because she wanted to name her son Theo, but didn\u2019t want to use my name. I refused, so she chose a different name and then called me a “waste of oxygen” for not letting her take the name.<\/p>\n
A week ago, I was told I had to babysit, but when I said no, my parents sided with my sister. They argued that it would be good for me to spend time with my nephew. I pointed out that I wasn\u2019t even allowed to meet him with the rest of the family, and they said it was because I\u2019m in school and he\u2019s a newborn. My sister also made it clear that she doesn\u2019t even want me involved in her kid\u2019s life\u2014she told me her son would be told I\u2019m just the babysitter, not an uncle, and that she doesn’t want people knowing we\u2019re related.<\/p>\n
The pressure is relentless. She won\u2019t pay me, and my parents are making it clear they expect me to do this, threatening to force me to quit my job if I don\u2019t agree. My sister calls me pathetic and useless, telling me I\u2019m a mistake. Despite everything, I\u2019m holding my ground, but they keep pushing, and it\u2019s getting harder to ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
