Entitled Mom Furiously Sent Her Sister-in-Law A Venmo Request Because She Attend A Concert Instead Of Babysitting For Her For Free

Becoming a widow and raising a child alone is a profoundly challenging experience. The weight of grief, coupled with financial strain and the responsibilities of solo parenting, can be overwhelming. And that's what this mom (OP) is dealing with.

She shared that after her husband's tragic accident, she had to work late to support her 7-year-old son. Her sister-in-law (SIL), who didn't work, promised to help with her son's after-school routine. However, a sudden change of plans left the working mother in a precarious situation.

At the last minute, her SIL said that she couldn't pick him up from school because she had to attend a concert. This was like putting the OP in a pan of boiling oil. She had to leave work early, which caused her to lose a lot of money. So she decided to send her SIL a Venmo request for her lost income. This decision led to a heated exchange of texts between the two women.

Now, she doesn't know if she was wrong or not. So she posted her story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit to ask people online for their opinions. Scroll down to read the entire story and check out what Redditors had to say to this solo mom.
