AITA? Reaction

3. Expecting mom to take care of her children over her sister's.

AITA for expecting my mom to take care of my children over my sister’s?

Uh? Yes!

My sister(29F) gave birth 5 months ago and is going back to work. My mom went to her for a month when she first gave birth to help take care of her

Make sense. The beginning is the hardest time.

and that month was extremely difficult on me.

Well, I'm sure it was difficult for your sister too.

My mom is an LPN

A nurse for those who don't know (I had to Google it).

and just works casual in both places (we are 4h apart) so she has told me is going to move to the city my sister is to take care of the her newborns until she turns 1.

Which is a great help.

My mom has been looking after my children for 4 years.

And you are angry that she will do the same for your sister?!

Also, 4 is old enough for kindergarten. So you have one son left to take care off.

I got pregnant at 21 from my 28 year old ex and she never liked him but never tried hard enough to prevent me from being with him.

I don't know man. The fact that you know she never liked him means that she told you that.

Also "prevent me from being with him"????

Girl, it's not like you were 5 or something. You were a fully grown adult.

She couldn't prevent you to date him even if she wanted.

She said I wouldn’t listen to her

Clearly.

because I was still upset from the divorce (between her and my dad) and didn’t care what she said.

Yeah, I can easily picture this.

I don’t think she did enough to protect me

I beg your finest pardon?!

but that’s something we disagree on.

I also disagree with you.

He ended up being abusive and cheating on me with his now gf

I’m(26F) just upset that she is leaving my 4 and 2year old sons for my sister’s daughter.

Your niece is also her granddaughter, like your sons.

It's just fair to help her too.

She says it’s only fair because she did 4 years of babysitting for me

True.

and it’s hard to find childcare for an under year old.

Not an expert but I can see this, not anyone would accept to have the responsibility for a toddler.

She says I’m ungrateful

Yes, you are.

and she hasn’t gotten a thank you for her free childcare.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN THANK HER?!

I don't know why I am so surprised. You have acted like an entitled brat for the whole post. You not thanking her is totally in character.

I think she is doing it to punish me

Girl, the world doesn't revolve around you.

and she is also doing it because my sister is paying her.

Which would be a good reason.

She says it’s not about the money and she will give some of it to me to help me with childcare.

This mom. This mom is a fucking angel.

OP doesn't deserve a mom like her.

She's too good.

But childcare for 2 kids is over $2000 and I only make $3200 after taxes. My ex only pays $300 for his kids and I her it’s impossible for me to make it without her but she insists it’s fair.

Because it is fair.

It’s not fair my sister and her husband make a lot of money and they own their home.

Not her fault she did better choices in her life.

I’m in a shitty rented apartment.

Not you sis fault.

I feel like she is intensionally screwing me after she didn’t protect me

You were 21 and she did say she didn't like him.

I also bet that if she tried to do more you wouldn't let her.

into getting in a relationship and then pregnant by an asshole.

Not her fault honey.

YTA. The entitlement.
