Woman Wants Her Sister To Stop Fostering Dogs And Babysit Her Kids Instead 2026

If someone chooses to have kids, it’s their responsibility to look after and care for them.

People should think or at least plan before having kids. Most couples restrict themselves to having just two kids and it’s because they understand the responsibilities that will come along with kids. You have to take care of them, feed them, change their clothes, take them to school and so much more. If you are ready and you think, you can handle more kids then you should go for it. Or if your plan is, you’ll have four kids and your sister or friends will take care of them, then let us tell you. You are going to fail and fail badly.

A mother of four kids took it to Reddit and asked if she is TAH for asking her sister to look after her kids? OP’s sister fosters dogs. She does take care of the kids sometimes. She even takes care of three of her sister’s kids but when she is fostering dogs, she does not allow kids in the house. OP has four kids and cannot handle all four of her kids and wants to take her sister’s help so she asked her sister to leave the dogs and take care of her kids but she said “no”.
