They say it takes a village to raise a child. And for many families, that village includes relatives.
So when this Redditor was asked to babysit her sister-in-law’s 4-year-old son while the parents were at work, she agreed to help. But what started as a kind gesture quickly turned into a nightmare. The boy threw constant tantrums, ignored house rules, and even began stressing out her own daughter.
After one final incident, she’d had enough. She told her SIL he was no longer welcome in her home, with no warning and no second chances.
Now she’s wondering: was that too harsh, or was she right to draw the line?
