“Not obligated”. Tell that to the teen who wants to live their life but is stuck home every Friday night to watch their siblings.
Can they help once in a while ,yes.
But too many parents become seriously self entitled, and before anyone claims I’m not that old, so how would I know? I’m over 50. Fair amount of experience with entitled people.
And not calling it baby sitting and trying to call it “taking care of the sibling” is just splitting hairs.
oh it is, don’t worry. I didn’t choose caring for a baby or small children as time goes, and for a fact I never wanted one. it was them who decided to maje another one, so they really should be putting in the work to care for them on the regular.
Fortunately I don’t have a sibling, I much prefer it that way.

Look at the number of up vs down votes. That should tell you where the thoughts are of others. Have a nice day.
