I open the door, and it’s her and her boyfriend and 2 kids, she’s 9 months pregnant, clearly in labour, they’ve got their hospital bags. They told me if I could take the kids till her sister gets here in a hour.
I said I’m sorry but no. I don’t want to be liable if anything were to happen to her kids under my care and I don’t want to risk waking mine up.
I feel like this is something u need to plan ahead and not start knocking on doors hoping someone takes ur kids in. I’ve already got my hands full with my 2 there’s no way I’m having another 2 running around my house at 3 in the morning.
They are 1 and 4 and I know they aren’t just going to sit and watch tv quietly.
They call me evil and rude and the bf got onto me saying what kind of mother watches another struggle. I feel like if my husband was around he wouldn’t t speak to me like that.
AITA?”
Many Reddit users agreed with her.
One person pointed out that the parents did not plan ahead and seemed to be in this mess of a situation because of their poor planning. User Schezzi wrote that the parents had 9 months to plan and “left their kids’ safety and wellbeing until their literal last minute.”
Meanwhile, other users were not as kind and thought this was unacceptable behavior.
BrinaGu3 wrote that it seemed unacceptable to help someone in a time of emergency.
The original poster later came back and mentioned to everyone that the neighbor who had eventually agreed to take the children in told her that the aunt had not arrived till 8 in the morning. The children did not sleep the entire night, and she woke up her children as well. They had also left a mess in her house. She mentioned all of this as a way to show everyone that she had been right about not taking the children.
