It’s virtually impossible to belong to a family without getting the short end of the stick. There’s so much compromise that someone inevitably has to sacrifice.
But when Liya (who’s known on Reddit as Ayumi_Doll) was unexpectedly put in a position to babysit their nephew despite having a hectic work schedule, and a multitude of other obstacles, they couldn’t.
Faced with the dilemma of balancing personal responsibilities and their family’s expectations, Liya chose the former and unloaded the boy to his grandparents, but as they explained in a post on ‘Am I the [Jerk]?‘, that sparked significant backlash.
