Imagine your sister-in-law getting along with your kids so well, she takes them on trips and enjoys spending time together. That sounds like help no young parent would refuse.

But this story from a childfree married couple shared on the AITA subreddit shows how not everyone feels grateful in such a situation. “My brother and his wife had kids young and have always been broke,” the author wrote. Turns out, it’s been a hard year for them and her SIL was talking about how badly they needed a break.

For this reason, the author, her husband, and their 8-year-old niece planned a trip to Disney World over the fall break. To help them have a bit of a break, the author offered to take their SIL’s two kids as well. Turns out, the SIL was far from impressed with the idea and felt completely left out.

    If my in-laws offered to take our three children (1 of mine and 2 of my partners) away for a trip ANYWHERE I’d be eternally grateful! They get a great holiday (that we couldn’t afford) and we get a few days to just be a couple with no children, it’s a win win. They have fun, we have fun, we all get together after the break and enjoy sharing our stories.

    Amen brother! I definitely would have allowed my mine or my husbands siblings take my 3 children on a vacation without us even if I had never been to the destination.

    I used to do that with my little cousin. She was an only child and so is my daughter so I'd tell my aunt when I'm going to Disney or Universal and to just have her ready. She never complained and my cousin had great times.

    My mother tried this s**t when I went to Disneyland with my son and husband. She tried to guilt trip me into taking her and my sister. I would have taken my sister but she wouldn't allow her to go unless she tagged along. Needless to say I went with my family and they stayed home. Absolutely ridiculous to expect her to pay for everyone. Not ok .

    Right. I've never been to Disney World, either, but I'd never deny a child from going. Disney is expensive and it's a generous offer. I could understand if there was a lack of trust and SIL had concerns, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
