Woman Refuses To Dogsit Her Brother’s Elderly Dog, Gets Shocked When He Declines To Babysit Her Kids
Family is all about being there for each other when it matters most. So after both of their parents had passed, Reddit user GrowingUnder thought the relationship he had with his sister would stay strong.
But when he needed someone to look after his elderly dog, she said no.
The man couldn’t forget it and carried a grudge until the tables turned, and it was his sister who wanted him to babysit her kids.
He returned the “favor” by refusing as well, but this tit-for-tat weighed on his peace of mind. Chasing closure, he shared the story online and asked people to weigh in, hoping for answers on whether he was in the right.

Same. And for those claiming "it's just a dog", I have some news: "you're just an id1ot". I also love how the sister goes with the emotional manipulation "we have no one to rely on but each other", however this is applicable only when she needs help.

I am a firm believer of not expecting of other that you wouldn't expect for yourself...and that also comes down to favors. Dogs, cats, kids...I don't care...if you wouldn't watch his don't expect for him to watch yours...unless it were a legitimate emergency. Also those YTA are AHs!

Nobody has to dogsit or babysit. You need to arrange a sitter before you book anything.
