Having lived with her sister and learning of her desire for a full-time babysitter, she informed social services when her sister declared that she wanted to foster a teenager to provide some relief. The consequences were grave for her family.
Sibling Dynamic
She is 28 and has a sister aged 36. Jane is married, and they have two kids, a boy and a girl. His niece and nephew are wonderful kids and no trouble at all. They fight as siblings do, but nothing major. She loves her niece and nephew.
Living with Siblings
For about two years, she lived with her sister. It wasn’t an easy dynamic living with a sibling, and while she hoped it would bond them, it caused several issues.
A Rocky Coexistence
In truth, it was a miserable time that really affected their relationship in the long term. She regrets having agreed to live together, but it seemed an ideal situation at the time.
Exploiting the Situation
Her sister saw her as free labor, money, and babysitting. It got to the stage where she felt taken advantage of, as her sister had no sense of boundaries at all. She didn’t respect that she had her own life.
The Financial Burden
Even when she managed to get a small part-time job, her sister demanded that she hand over nearly half of her pay. Her ultimatum was to either pay up or get out.
Making the Escape
It was hell, as she took complete advantage of her. She moved out as soon as she could, and they ended up having little contact outside of family gatherings. It was very sad that their relationship had come to such blows.
The New Complaint
After she moved out, her sister started complaining about how she no longer had any help with the kids and constantly went on about how she never had a break from it.
Babysitting Demands
She still babysat sometimes, largely due to wanting to spend time with her niece and nephew. But she had to make it clear that just because she was off work, it didn’t mean she wanted an 8-hour day with her niece and nephew.
The Foster Kid Idea
Her sister started talking about how she wanted to foster a kid. Not a kid, but a teenager. It seemed strange, especially how she was apparently struggling so severely with the two kids of her own.
Unveiling her Motive
She pressed her for more info on this. She joked that she wanted to adopt a teenager, so she had a live-in babysitter for her kids. Straight away, she offered a sudden outpouring of her love for kids and wanting to give someone a home.
Sinister Plan
Her argument was, “I want a kid around 16 or 17, you know, someone who may have been in the system for a while. They can share a room with your nephew or sleep in the garage!” She only had a three three bedroom house!
Exploiting the Teenager
She also said they could help her with housework, chores, and cooking and help her with her business, baking, and selling cookies! She had it all planned out, and she was genuinely considering it!
No Pay for the Teenager
Then she added that they could babysit the kids so she and her partner could go out sometimes or have some alone time. She argued that the foster child would be so grateful for a home that they wouldn’t complain. She said she wouldn’t have to pay them at all!
The Never-Ending Cycle
And then, when they turned 18, she could just sign up for another foster kid! She believed a teenager would be so much easier than a little kid; they would be grateful just to have a roof, food, and siblings if they had been separated from their real ones.
A Horrified Reaction
She was horrified and told her it was a horrible idea! She didn’t listen to her. She went on with it anyway. She couldn’t honestly believe that her sister would really sink to such lows.
The Social Worker’s Visit
About a month ago, a social worker showed up at her apartment to ask her some questions about her sister. She had put her down as a character witness or something like that. She immediately told the social worker why her sister really wanted to foster a kid and how she treated her when she lived with her.
The Consequences
Her sister called crying, saying that she wouldn’t be considered for any adoptions or fosters. The social worker told her that they felt her home and she wasn’t a good fit. She asked if she said anything, and she told the truth. She went mad, hung up, and they haven’t spoken since. She has sent some angry texts.
Family Division
A couple of family members were on her sister’s side. They thought foster kids were like dogs or something and would be so happy just to have a roof and would gladly do all the housework. She couldn’t believe their logic!
Word of Wisdom
Her feeling was that no child was in control of the circumstances that may have landed them in the foster care system. They were children and still human. She had no regrets about what she’d done, believing she had protected the welfare of a foster child.
