Four years ago, right after my daughter was born, I got divorced. After the birth of our daughter, my husband instantly confessed his love for another lady, saying she was carrying a male. He had always desired a son. After our breakup, I started working as a freelancer. Despite making a good living, I don’t have much free time. Thankfully, since I’m frequently too busy, my mother and friends can help with childcare and transportation for my daughter.
My sister just informed me that they were arranging a summer seaside vacation. When I learned about it, I was ecstatic and asked her to bring my daughter. Of course, I was prepared to pay for my daughter’s expenditures in full. I assumed that since my sister’s mother-in-law was with them, they would have no trouble taking care of my kid. My daughter is four years old, while my sister’s boy is two. I wouldn’t even think of suggesting she take my kid if she were taking a trip with herself and her son.
But I figured it wouldn’t matter since her husband and mother-in-law would be there. I was disappointed when my sister turned down my plea because I was always willing to help her out. She frequently leaves her kid here.
I always try to assist her, even though managing two kids and a job is difficult for me. She claims that her husband doesn’t want to bring another family’s kid on vacation, but when they leave their boy with me, he doesn’t seem to notice that he’s been left alone. Two weeks ago, when they got back from their vacation, my sister requested me to watch her kid.
You see, they were invited by friends to spend two days in the country. I opted out this time. I used to agree with you all the time, but now I don’t get it. Why am I unable to do it if she can do it to me?
She accuses me of being at fault and is angry with me. She maintains that the scenario is different when I bring up the seaside holiday. But I don’t notice the difference, and I think I’m doing morally.
