What Makes Her So Special???
So i move into my uncles house back in august after bd became a douche and left us. Me and my aunt were both pregnant at the time and things were fine. I had my beautiful baby girl in october. I had no help at home and never got to just sleep while somebody watched my baby a few hours. Also if i were to go anywhere i had to bundle my lo and take her with. I have a 4yr old son and 6yr old niece i have to care for also. Well now it january and my aunt just had her baby girl on tuesday. They're already leaving their baby with me to go shopping and out to eat. They make me help out with there 7yr old son. And the other night i had to stay up til 2am cause my aunt was tired and needed to sleep so i had to take care of there baby on top of caring for my 3mo old. I don't know what makes them so special. They never help out with my baby. I've only left her here with them 1time and that's because it was 5° outside. Their baby is only 5days old any taking care of her is an everyday thing so far. Although we contributed almost $600 in link i feel obligated to do stuff they ask and tell me to do because its their house. But it pisses me off because he tells me to make sure i help her and let her get some sleep. WTF!?! Where was my help and my sleep? I still don't get much sleep. And now that im helping with their lo im getting less.

My family doesn't help me, and my partner's family doesn't either
They take his sisters three kids so she can just hang out with friends, or go shopping, even my being so sick that I could barely see... Well... "That's just a part of motherhood" I get to be sick and struggle to take care of her too.
You know what though, It's hard sometimes but I feel like I'm the best mother I can be and I'm only proving that unlike 90% of the girls I know, I dedicate my everything to my daughter and we do it on our own. (My partner included) Maybe knowing that about yourself will at least make you feel a little better.
It does sound like you're being used as a live in Nanny
You're saving them SO MUCH in daycare
My SIL keeps having children and wants/tries for all of them. Her husband was deported and had to move back to Kansas, they broke up and she got a new BF right away and now has a 14 month old son with him. She just had a miscarriage and will be trying again after she waits the 3 recommended months. She has never had to take care of her children, or herself for that matter. That's how her parent's raised her. She's 27 and her boyfriend is 35 and they live off her parents. Her parents do and buy everything, when she asks them too. She didn't have too buy diapers or food for the first two years of her 2 daughters lives, and my partner's mother has been spending the last 6 years of her life taking care of these grand children. She works TWO days a week, and my MIL has them every single day! Some people just view motherhood completely different then the rest of us. One of my best friends has a daughter who is 1 and a half and the little girl has spent 75% of her life with her grandmother because my friend is 22 and still wants to party and get messed up. They just expect other people to "help" them out or do it for them. Or at least in most of the people I know's case. They don't really think it through... even though they should lol
