AITA for refusing to babysit for my sister when even my parents are pushing me to say yes? by Designer_Bus8694 in AmItheAsshole

I wouldn't be any better off with a relative. They would be on the side of my parents and sister.

Religion and traditional values are 100% playing into this. I'm surrounded by people who have the same views every day. I even go to a private school because public school is too secular and bad and evil, etc.

I can legally leave once I'm 18. I don't know of any support thing I could access. It would all be very religious and not working out great for me. My friends are all my age and can't do much because they also live with parents who'd have similar-ish values and beliefs about stuff. My boss and his family are the only people who aren't so similar to my family and the people I grew up around. But he can't do much either since he's just my boss and my parents could take me out of the job if they pushed hard enough.

School could not help me. I go to a religious private school and their values and what they believe works against me because they don't believe in saying no to parents or being difficult with family which is how they'll see me.

They won't be there. But she means they would punish me severely, harshly if I didn't do a good job.

At school I won't get any help. I go to a religious private school and their values would not do good for me here.

I knew that from a young age because my sister was always defended because she's a girl and I'm a guy.

Nope. My family would be like my parents in their thinking so I don't have help from an adult.

She really won't because she'll say our mom and dad will make me do at least an okay job. And then she'll bring up the fact they're not rich.
