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

Today, instead of going to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend like I'd planned, I ended up babysitting his queasy little sister. FML

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

Shackled

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, 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.

Your sister is an adult. She can take care of herself.

I think you do kind of deserve it, your sister is an adult and can look after herself, therefore you should not have agreed and cancelled your plans. Since she is your little sister I'm assuming you're an adult too, right? Your parents can not make you do shit.

YDI for actually listening to your nut job parents.

How do all of you know her sister can take care of herself? For all you know, her sister's a recovering drug addict, or alcoholic, or she never went to college and is a bum who would throw wild parties and have random guys over for sex if no one were home to watch her. Yeah, OP could've said no to that, because her legally adult sister is not her responsibility, but if her parents asked her, one night really isn't that big of a deal and she should do as they asked...

Stay home? To babysit your "little sister"? So, what I get from this is that you must be at least 20 and live at home. If your family is ridiculous and demanding, HOW ABOUT YOU MOVE OUT? Oh my God, that's unheard of! Honestly, you deserve it. If you want to make your own plans and have your life not at all controlled by your parents, grow up and be an independent. Stop being a child, yourself.
