People who sacrifice their lives in order to help others are never valued and are often taken for granted. In our world, everyone looks out for themselves, regardless of whether the other person is an outsider or a blood family. This is the harsh reality of our materialistic society—people only care about themselves and their concerns, never considering the problems of others.
OP was facing the same scenario when her sister wanted her to quit her job to babysit her niece for free. OP had taken a gap year from her studies after high school and was doing a part-time job with a minimum wage. If OP accepted her request, then OP had to leave her college for three years along with her part-time job, which in her sister’s eyes was ‘not a real job’. OP asked her to pay for babysitting the same amount as she was getting from her job, but her sister got mad at her for asking for money from blood relatives. OP’s family was on OP’s sister’s side and criticized her for not helping her sister in need. Read the whole story to learn about OP’s narrative, and share your views in the comment section below.
