AITA? Reaction

24. Calling brother weird and embarrassing.

AITA for calling my brother weird and embarrassing?

My older sister had two babies in less than two years and isn’t doing well. She doesn’t even know who their dads are.

The rest of the family are helping, but our older brother stepped up the most. He’s 22 and works full time, but he loves the kids. His work has a daycare centre so he takes them there and then when they come home, he’s by their sides all night.

Aw. That's an amazing brother.

My sister doesn’t care. Mom’s been trying to get her to see a doctor but she keeps refusing. I think she’s taking advantage of our brother but he’s also insisting so what can you do.

I guess that you can't force her, but at this point wouldn't be better if the brother adopted them? Or becoming their legal guardian at least.

Anyways, my brother’s coworker gave him some advice and told him to go on short morning walks with the babies. She specifically told him to take them in those baby wrap carrier things and not a stroller for some reason. So he goes on these morning walks with one baby on his back and another on his chest. He’s into fitness and all that so he’s having the time of his life but my mom’s making me join him and it’s honestly a little embarrassing.

People always stare

Oh no, man taking care of babies 🙄

and he looks a little obnoxious and stupid too. I hate it. I begged my mom to let me stay home but she says I have to. So I went to my sister and told her she could at least do that since she wakes up really early and she brushed me off and was like “Aiden wants to.” And I said “yeah but if you said you wanted to he wouldn’t have a choice and I won’t have to deal with him acting like a weirdo anymore.” Well apparently he heard the whole thing and not only did he tell me not to come on the walks anymore, but he refuses to let me do ANYTHING with the babies. I’ll offer to help and he’ll just ignore me.

I didn’t mean anything in a malicious way, but I mean they’re not even his kids. And everyone is always staring at him during the walks because what guy is just walking around with two babies strapped onto him… we live in a more conservative area too. I know I’m being a bit close minded but it really is embarrassing. And I didn’t mean for him to hear… AITA?

YTA. He's the best thing those babies could get.
