Another question she could have asked at that tribunal: If there's nothing wrong with her being expected to babysit at every gathering for free, then why is it so embarrassing for people to know about it?
We’re family we help each other out. Is just an excuse to get out of something they don’t want to do. Have they ever thought that Opie might want to enjoy her holidays a little I don’t think she’s asking for much. The mom did not need to share that the aunt never should’ve took the pictures. What a nosey family member.
We're family we help each other out. However, the elephant in the room is that we decide on our own if, when and how to help. To my knowledge, nobody in my family has ever used that line to guilt trip anybody into helping, and nobody in my family would give in to such an attempt. You're absolutely right that when spoken those words are a red flag.
Mother overreacted none of this would’ve happened if they listen to OP and her boundaries. I honestly don’t know why people can’t take turns watching the kids on a holiday.
No one should be forced to watch kids all the time they walk all over you it’s their kids. They also have to help if they want time away from the kids they can go on a date night and get a babysitter.

Why do they need to pay for a babysitter at family gatherings? Turns watching the kids.🤦♀️
Its amazing to me that the family would rather pay a stranger to babysit the mids. But not pay the Op. Yeah. That's that family values.

My Mother was paid and forced me to do the babysitting. I was not given a cent.
I am sorry
Really? OP never noticed that complete strangers were having baby showers and other celebrations at her house? Hard to believe.
I am skeptical. No one is going to pay for events that include the party planner's family.
This is definitely not Asian kid... there is no kid but dinosaur
Jake is the best
Dad is not too bright!
OP had no backbone and was unable to pushback. She begged for everything they did.
