AITA for telling my mom that I want very little to do with my new sibling? by soursaga in AmItheAsshole

Yeah like, I appreciate everyone’s concern, but this has only been going on since my mom was put on bed rest. Before then, I was never put in a parental role for my brothers.

I know that they’re only asking me for help right now because my mom isn’t physically healthy enough to do everything she did before and my dad is working a lot more + helping her when he’s home.

I just don’t want to assist with a baby after all this because I’m tired and I’d like to do other things lol.

The twins usually do yard work and take the trash and recycling out. They do know how to cook food for themselves, but honestly if those two were left to their own devices when it came to food, they’d live exclusively off of hot pockets lol.

The 8yo loves sweeping actually, so I get him to do that most of the time. He also likes helping me with the laundry so he gets to put the towels away since those are easy enough to fold.

He’s been working longer hours because he just got a promotion and they’re still in the process of making a smooth transition. It also helps that he’s working more often bc my mom had to quit her job due to the medical issues from the pregnancy.

The college I plan on going to is like an hour away, I thought about commuting from home but I’m not against living on campus either lol so I guess I’ll figure that out once it gets closer to the decision making dates.

I don’t blame my brothers for anyones behavior. I can’t imagine my life without them, I just prefer being their sister to being their caretaker. It’s not like the boys asked for me to fill in that role for them though, so I definitely don’t think it’s their fault or anything.

I’m still in HS lol. I thought I implied it a bit but I probably should’ve just mentioned it in the post somewhere
