A lot of those parents expected the kids to watch their siblings. One of my friends married a single mom who had 2 teen daughters. He had two additional kids with her, and the teen daughters were expected to watch the little ones. Then, the older daughter ended up a single mom, and asked for help watching her 2 kids, and his wife says no. I don’t think that’s fair.
Its not fair but its not surprising either. Like expecting relatives who always got they hand out to actually pitch in when the time comes u need some change.

That mother has already designated their role. Had she been willing to return the favor, she would have likely never put that on them like that to begin with. :francis:

I'm very particular about this because I've seen folks I grew up with have children and drop them off on their parents (the grandparents) to raise them while they're out living their best life.

I have a problem with that. I don't plan to ever drop my children off with my parents. If they come get them, or tell me to bring them by, that's one thing. But I'm not going to force my parents to be babysitters.
Yeah this is unfortunately an all too common dynamic and has been for some time. Usually see it with the babies having babies, where the grandparent lowkey the one who ends up raising them. :wow:

And it was for stuff like socializing. She wanted to have a life, but won’t help her daughter.

Yeah. Sounds pretty on brand for that kinda parenting unfortunately.

All thats left is for one or both those younger kids to be boys and the spoiled apples of mama's eye and whole cliche dysfunctional cypher will be complete.

I wish my mom would say she can’t babysit her grandkids, I babysat her bad ass kids. But my parents and in laws always want to watch them.
