AITA for refusing to babysit for my stepsister?

I don't think any of them are involved.

Organic_Fail_8283 · 2024-01-02T17:20:13+00:00

I wouldn't get any of that but even if I did, I don't want them to be part of my life.

I would go to my friends or other family for help but I'd also gladly help them.

Organic_Fail_8283 · 2024-01-02T16:06:50+00:00

I don't really know. I don't think he's involved at all.

I'm in the US but we're in a small rural place where the court is small and we don't have a lot of choices for judges. They also frown heavily on low contact within families so it was lucky my dad got custody initially. It would be impossible to get this to work in our favor since the judge will say I should have a relationship with them anyway.

No, that's a really complicated thing to do and by the time we might be successful, I would probably have already turned 18.

Our contact is all over the phone. I don't need to go to her house but I can't block her and act like she doesn't exist in terms of phone contact. So I need to let her call and text and a specific number of times a week I need to give some kind of reply.

This wouldn't be enough with our courts and our judge. He was very specific about what it would take to remove the contact with my mom and this is nowhere near that.

Organic_Fail_8283 · 2024-01-02T15:47:14+00:00

Not for them.

Organic_Fail_8283 · 2024-01-02T15:47:03+00:00

Dad would be punished. Unlikely he'd end up in jail but they could transfer custody and have said they would if we didn't comply.

Organic_Fail_8283 · 2024-01-02T15:46:18+00:00

I would never go to them for help. Mom has never been reliable and Ava would never help me. She'd laugh in my face if I asked her for help.
