Dad's unwanted comments towards younger brother leave him without a babysitter, he refuses to provide free childcare after being labeled irresponsible

Family dynamics can sometimes shift dramatically once a new baby enters the picture. Everyone in the family — not just the parents — takes on new roles and finds themselves proving something in new ways. When one young man, branded as "immature" by his older brother, was asked to babysit for free, he declined. He never did like being thought of as the "irresponsible one" for no good reason, but suddenly, that label disappeared the moment his brother needed a favor.

I've seen this kind of thing play out firsthand. I'm the baby of my family; some of my cousins have more than a decade on me, so I got used to being pampered, dawdled on, and occasionally excluded from the big kid activities. Somewhere along the way, me being the youngest turned into me being the go-to "free babysitter." Anytime a cousin had plans, I was suddenly the most responsible person in the room. It's funny how quickly family perceptions change when it becomes about convenience.

It takes a truly insane amount of entitlement to actively talk badly about someone and then expect favors from them!
