You won't have to understand; you're child free. Your parents should offer to watch kids if they're so opinionated. You must stand your ground in demanding your time be respected.

"Oh well, if being child-free means I can't understand then I don't think it's safe for me to babysit any more. Please ask others, I am uncomfortable caring for them since I just can't understand them."

I cannot express this enough: You are not special or more important simply because you have children.

I'm the mother of two under ten, and i've already raised three other children, and I have never once disrespected a person's time in such a way. so I don't understand how anyone else can go, "you just don't understand". Commendcy and respect has gone out the window and this is why the world's going to hell in a handbasket.

They deliberately changed their plans though. Things didn't just "come up". That was a choice on their part and now OP definitely has a right to be upset

It doesn't matter whether you have kids or not, your time is as valuable. If her kids suffer from her choices, that's on her. If your parents are so opinionated, then they can volunteer to watch them.

Good on you for sticking up for yourself and your time.

"I'm sooo sorry! I don't have kids, and I'm not qualified to watch them. Ask mom & dad; they had kids & understand SELFISHLY CANCELLING YOUR PLANS THAT AFFECTED MINE. I am planning a 'me' weekend, and can't - no, WON'T change my plans. I'm child free and selfish."

Stand your ground. Your parents should watch the kids instead

Its crazy how many parents think and feel that just because they have kids their time is more valuable or that us childfree people dont understand that LIFE happens. Sorry to say it but YOU chose to have children... Dont expect those of us that didnt to cater to or accommodate you

Your sister takes you for granted and is very disrespectful. You are right to stand your ground. Take it from someone who has been in your shoes.

They should respect you. You did right because if you did take them the next time she'd continue to do this to you. Your time is just as valuable.

great! then grandma and grandpa can watch the kids. and if they object, remind them. things come up when you have kids. and it’s their turn to step up 😊

I get this all the time. I'm child free and people think I have so much free time to do what ever I want. I have a life and responsibilities that aren't kid related. Not only do I work 50 a week, I have to take care of my own home and my parents home . The only free time I get is when I'm asleep or trying to enjoy something small. People need to stop thinking child free means you are open for anything with ease.

If the grandparents are mad they can watch the kids. Why is it that the grandparents always get mad at one person cuz they're not doing what the other person with kids wants, but are not willing to watch their grandkids but expect everybody else to.

HELL NO. I've had it with this "I've got kids so I'm OWED special treatment " crap. Immediately deploy the professional victim textbook and tragic expression . I did not get laid for YOUR kids. I did not knock you up. Or spawn your kids. People do not take responsibility for THEIR BEHAVIOR anymore.

Dear (grand)parents, if you're not willing to step up or step in for babysitting, your argument is invalid.

You don't have to babysit if you don't want to. There are people out there who get mad when you don't jump to do their bidding when they want. People who have children willingly have those children. So it's their responsibility to raise the children they created.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t expect so many NTA responses! Thanks, everyone. I was starting to feel guilty about standing my ground, but it’s good to hear that others agree it’s important to set boundaries, even with family. I love my nieces and nephew, but my time is valuable too, and I’m glad I’m not being unreasonable here. Thanks again for all the support!
