Today, I had to cancel all of the plans to go away on a romantic weekend with my boyfriend. My parents are going out of town for a night and I have to stay home a babysit my little sister. She's 19. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, instead of going to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend like I'd planned, I ended up babysitting his queasy little sister. FML
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
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, my mom left me at home with a babysitter. I'm 17. 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, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. 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, my dad and stepmom insisted on having a babysitter stay with me while they go off on their 3-week vacation. I'm 22 and work full-time. 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

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.
