Mom Of Four Asks If She's Really Wrong For Requiring Her Sister To Stop Fostering Dogs To Babysit Her Kids For Free

The argument is an inevitable part of any relationship, and it is pretty normal in life. Whether you are working with your boss, staying home with your siblings, or being in a relationship with your partners, you'll easily find yourself in an unwanted quarrel. Some arguments help people have a better grasp of each other, but some are really hard to solve because everyone seems both right and wrong.
This mother of four has shared on Reddit such a polarizing story in which people divide themselves to decide whether she's an AH.
OP (original poster) has four kids, of which the oldest is 10 years old and the youngest is just 11 months old. She loves all of her kids, but it can't be denied that having too many children makes her house chaotic. Her 33-year-old sister, on the other hand, is child-free. She loves to foster dogs, and she never minds helping OP with two to three of her kids.
OP is thankful for her assistance, and her kids come to their aunt's place regularly. But, recently, the case has changed. The sister has lately spent all of her time taking care of a chihuahua she has fostered, so she could no longer help OP with her kids.
OP agreed with that because she knew very well fostering dogs was her sister's passion. She waited for 8 months until the chihuahua was finally able to find a new home and she could tell that her sister was finally free to babysit her babies again.
However, the sister said she was going to care for another dog soon. OP was collapsed and stressed. Desperate for help, she told her sister to stop fostering dogs to babysit her kids for free. And of course, the sister disagreed.
As OP was writing the post, she felt guilty but she wanted to know if she was wrong for her behaviors. She couldn't afford a babysitter in a long term, and couldn't seek help from any other person except her sister.

Redditors read her story and showed up strong reactions. They agreed that OP was very much on the wrong side.

However, some people understood OP's situation and reaffirmed to her that she wasn't an AH for asking her sister to stop fostering ailing dogs to help her babies.
