AIBU to expect my 18-year-old to babysit her baby brother?

[SallySue87]

Can't sleep, SO wound up about this, I just need some advice...

On Tuesday I asked my DD (18) to watch my DS (5) while I go out on a blind date. She said no way as she was going down the pub with her girl friend (22) to watch the England game, I said MY house MY rules! To which she replied "you only had him to save your marriage and look at how that turned out"...

I went BALLISTIC😡My DS burst into tears. I couldn't believe she said that so soon after myself and her step-dad messily split-up. I know it's been hard for her, but imagine how hard it's been for ME ?? I couldnt let this comment slide so I took her phone and told her she can not go and see her girl friend. She was so angry and said she feels like she is always looking after DS and that its not fair for me to go and 'hook up' with 'random men' when she can't see her girl friend, who she says she is in love with...

She hasnt spoke to me since and Im starting to worry that I have actually upset her...but at the same time, she is an adult now and has to accept that she has responsibilities...

What should I do?... 😥

Take DS5 with you on the blind date

I mean if this isn’t a joke maybe do some parenting. Of the 5 year old and stop acting like you’re the 18 year old.

She is right you had a child not her it is your job to look after them or find a suitable willing babysitter. Also give her, her phone back she is 18.

Also maybe no date for a while before the 5 year has to become a parent to the next child.

You took another adult's phone?

Also again if true.

Hilarious that it’s too soon for her to bring up your failed plaster attempt to save your marriage.

But you’re wanting to go on blind dates. If it’s too soon it’s too soon for both or it’s not.

Oh behave it's not real

she has responsibilities...

nope, she doesn’t, not for your child.

Things that never happened 😂😂

lol, total click bait - no one is THIS oblivious

Try harder, OP.

What should you do?

Get a better hobby or pastime then writing unbelievable rage bait posts.

As a pp said, no 18 year old would just hand their phone over 😆.

YABU. Massively U. He's your baby, not hers, so you are responsible for him.
