Woman Expects Fiancé's Teenage Son to Be a Free Babysitter at Her Wedding, His Refusal Leads to Tension in the Soon-to-Be Family

Welcome, internet gals and pals. Large age gaps between siblings are not really ideal to foster healthy and positive sibling dynamics. There are exceptions, of course, but generally, siblings with big age gaps end up feeling more like cousins or other distant relatives. They typically do not have anything in common as they are always in extremely different stages in life. After the older sibling moves out, the pair probably only see each other over holidays or school breaks unless they make an effort to make a connection. Before that, the older sibling is likely pressured and expected to take care of and help raise the younger. This can also lead to resentment as no teenager wants to be tasked to babysit their young sisters or brothers. 

In our story today, a teen is expected to babysit for free at his own father's wedding, which would lead him to miss the entire ceremony. His dad's fiancée tries to guilt him to change his mind, but he holds his ground. Scroll down for the details.
