Supportive role

Today, it was supposed to be date night but my sister's husband was taken to hospital, so I agreed to to babysit my nieces. My boyfriend went out drinking by himself because, “it’s not his fault I have nieces and can’t say no to my sister, so why should his night be ruined?” FML

Today, my mom tried to force me to stay home from work to babysit my sister and her “boyfriend”. I snuck out and went to work anyway, because I hate being around them. FML

Quite the gamble

Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML

Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

Today, my fiancé left to take care of his little sister who lives alone and recently got COVID-19. To be cautious, he will remain there for weeks until he tests negative. Feeling lonely, I texted my mom for comfort. She immediately canceled our engagement party this summer instead. FML

Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML

Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML

You're obviously an adult, since your little sister is 19. YDI for not just saying "no, I have plans." Don't blame others because you lack a spine.

why didn't you tell them no! I would have told them to get a life and her too. she's old enough to get married, live on her own, drive a car by herself and buy cigs but she can't stay by herself one night! heck no I wouldn't have let them tell me what to do

I would tell my parents to **** off. You're gonna be at least 20, your parents can't tell you what to do. If they really want to make sure your sister is supervised, they can look after her themselves, or hire a babysitter. YDI for being a pushover.

if the little sister is 19 then the op must be over 19 which is legal therefore the op doesn't have to take orders from their parents. YDI for being a pushover

well maybe she lives with her parents, and a lot of parents use the "you live under my rook, you follow my rules" strategy

that is a seriously ****** up thing to say. ever thought that maybe they were planning on having a baby, and it just happened to be handicapped? that shit happens you know. i have a cousin with downs syndrome and my aunt and uncle knew and chose to keep her instead of having an abortion, because they wanted another baby and she is such a joy. just because it is the parents' daughter doesn't mean they have to watch her 24/7. the OP could've said "no, i have plans," and i'm sure the parents would have gotten someone else to take care of her.

Assuming your sister isn't handicapped, you should have just told your parents to **** off. Even if you do live with your parents, they should still have the courtesy to ask you rather than demand.
