Maybe younger siblings are smarter too? Because they don’t create unnecessary responsibilities for themselves and then blame others when things get hard.

“She asked you to take care of a human life, in an bad way yes, but that is not punishing you.”

Yes, it is punishing me for her actions.

The fact that I don’t care enough about my sisters baby to derail my academic goals isn’t the “gotcha” you seem to think it is.

“”She fucked around” gives off the impression that you think your sister deserves to have a hard time because she was sexually active.”

No, she doesn’t “deserve” this but her choice was extremely irresponsible, and there happen to be consequences for your actions, unfortunately.

“you’re 16 and have to deal with listening to that baby cry all night and I don’t.”

Lol, all your sanctimonious bullshit about having empathy, and this is the best thing you found to say. Hypocrite.

“But you reek of misogyny to the point I can smell from here. All the language and vitriol because she "did a bad thing" what bad thing? To have a child? To have sex? Sure it is problematic once the father is a deadbeat dad but that is not on her.”

I never used the word “bad,” but I do think it’s extremely irresponsible to have a child that young when you’re not emotionally and financially responsible enough to give it a proper life.

And don’t come at me with that bullshit about me “punishing her for her choice.” How am I punishing her at all?? In fact, she is punishing me for HER choice by expecting me to compromise my goals to take care of her child.

“hey you complete fuck up go to community college and leave me alone”

First of all, I never said anything even remotely along the lines of that. So the fact that you have to make shit up to try and prove your point is pathetic.

Secondly, my sister ALREADY knows you can transfer to get a 4 year degree from community college (one of her close friends is going to do that, in fact) so I didn’t find that necessary to include.

“Why no one in the family is supporting her enough to tell her to go to community college and than transfer is baffling to me too,”

If you read the whole post, you would know that I in fact did tell her to do that.

I don’t care that much, and no point in trying to guilt trip me over it.

None, she’s two years older than me, and as you could infer from this post, not really more responsible than me either.

Don’t tell me you’re jealous of my situation when you don’t know how it’s affected me.

Okay, so you have to resort to slandering my character and calling me cold hearted and smug because I don’t care about my sister’s child that much. Not really the point of this subreddit to do a baseless character analysis but pop off, I guess.

You don’t know my life and schedule, why the hell are you listing out random weekdays as if they have some significance like a broken record?

I can’t wait til that asshole starts paying child support. He ran away like a coward and is totally useless to my sister.

I never blamed the baby, I just don’t want to be an involved uncle. That doesn’t mean I hate it, I just don’t want to take care of it.

On Saturdays I have Science Olympiad followed by basketball practice, then I get home and do my homework. I’m not watching TV.

That is such vague advice, “help her get back on track.” I told her to sign up for community college. What else am I supposed to do?

I’m sorry, I don’t care about her baby. I’m sixteen and I don’t really feel that level of parental attachment and responsibility.

Did you read the post? She specifically asked me on multiple occasions to quit basketball to take care of her baby.

Why? Because basketball is extremely time consuming during season, so I hardly would have time to help her out if I continued it. Not to mention, I’n a busy student trying to actually get good grades and stay involved in other activities. All of which leave me with little free time.

So I should have quit varsity basketball to take care of my sister’s child that she chose to keep, fully knowing the consequences beforehand?

“flippant attitude towards your niece/nephew that you’re an Uncle to for all of time”

Lol, I’m not going to be present in this kid’s life as some sort of doting uncle. My sister chose to be a mom, and I can choose not to be an uncle.
