After putting up with his aunt’s demands for several years, the man takes a stash of beer and gets drunk at his aunt’s birthday dinner to avert babysitting duties, and it works a treat!
Living Life
The man’s aunt, who is 40 years old, has three kids under the age of 10. The kids are fine, but at the age of 23, it isn’t a major priority to spend time with kids, especially when he has loads going on in his own life.
A Habitual Task
Family gatherings often result in the man becoming the default babysitter, which really annoys him. It never seems to be anyone else that gets asked or told; he always gets given the task.
Treated Unfairly
At his aunt’s birthday dinner, the adults were all enjoying drinks and conversation. He considered himself more than old enough to be joining the affair, but once again, he was asked to babysit while the adults enjoyed their drinks.
False Hopes
Frustratingly for him, earlier that evening, when he’d raised his concerns, his mother had assured him that he wouldn’t have to babysit, as the kids were supposed to be at a friend’s house.
A Backup Plan
He’d heard this promise previously, and he’d soon found out that he was to be the babysitter. That’s why, on this particular occasion, he decided to be armed and prepared. That way, he had a sturdy plan that he could refer to if needed.
A Quick Stop
Before leaving for his aunt’s house, he made a quick trip to the local store and bought himself some alcohol. He didn’t discuss it with his mom; he just casually threw it into his backpack as part of his plan.
Early Realization
He’d pretty much realized that he’d been misinformed the moment they arrived at his aunt’s home. As soon as they’d entered the front door, he heard loud screams from the children and noisy bounding on the floorboards. His heart had sunk!
Secret Stash
Realizing that he might have been deceived by either his aunt or his own mom and not being massively surprised at it either, the man promptly pulled out a special-ordered 12% Viking beer from his backpack.
Seizing the Moment
His uncle also had a particular penchant for weird beer, so he immediately passed one of his beers to his uncle, and they started drinking together. At that moment, he felt like he was part of the celebration and enjoying himself.
Hitting the Bottle
He had initially planned to abstain from drinking had the kids been absent, but due to the unexpected/expected situation, he decided to indulge in the beer he’d brought with it. That’s what he’d brought it for, after all!
A Personal Attack
Three minutes later, his aunt saw the beer can, and she confronted him for drinking while looking after the children. She started shouting at him and saying a load of stuff about him being inconsiderate!
A Rude Expectation
Angrily, the man reminded his aunt of his mother’s earlier. He said he was told that the kids were staying away and that he’d be welcome to join a ‘family’ gathering. When his aunt called him an inappropriate name, he felt himself getting angry. The cheek!
Paying the Cost
In response to the situation, the man offered to stop drinking. He agreed with his aunt and told her she was absolutely right. He said, “I’ll gladly babysit for you in exchange for a $200 emergency babysitting fee!”
Pushed Aside
The aunt vehemently refused the offer. She told him he had no right and said he was cheeky for expecting to be paid for family duty. He couldn’t get his breath at her comment and expected his own Mom to stand up for him. She didn’t!
An Act of Defiance
The man decided to embrace the moment and do as he pleased. If she carried on, he decided he’d leave. However, in the meantime, he looked at his aunt and defiantly chugged the half-liter beer can amid cheers and laughter from his father and uncle.
An Unconventional Blessing
After finishing the beer, the man wished his aunt a happy birthday with a loud burp right at the end! Everyone fell about laughing, and his aunt looked absolutely appalled at his behavior.
Caused a Scene
His mom looked deeply embarrassed by both her son’s rendition of Happy Birthday and her sister’s reaction. She threw a few angry looks his way, but the man’s uncle told her to leave him alone! That made her even angrier!
End of an Era
The man’s dad, who was the designated driver, ended up watching the kids for the rest of the night while the man told his uncle that it was high time he considered a vasectomy as his babysitting days were well and truly over!
