Sister shocked when brother declines to babysit after she asks him to hide his boyfriend
AITA (Am I The A**hole) subreddit.The 20-year-old man began by saying he’s been dating his 22-year-old boyfriend, Ryan, for the past year.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.His sister, Amanda, is 28 and has a 4-year-old son called Jack.“After a family BBQ last month, Amanda pulled me aside and said ‘Hey just so you know it might be better if you don’t bring Ryan to the next few family gatherings’,” the man said.“I asked her why, and she got all awkward, saying ‘Jack’s been asking questions about you and Ryan, and I don’t think he’s old enough to understand all that yet’.
I told her we weren’t exactly putting on a Pride parade in her yard. We were literally just eating hot dogs and chatting with family.
She replied ‘It’s just confusing for him. You know how kids are.’“I was mad,” he continued, “but kept it together and said ‘If Ryan isn’t welcome, maybe I just won’t come either’.
She sighed and said I was being ‘dramatic’.”Fast forward a few weeks and Amanda was desperate for a babysitter after someone else cancelled on her.
