NTA. Tina needs to make her own arrangements if she needs a break.

The whole “she has help” thing is interesting. They both have dads and nanny’s aren’t free. NTA.

Am I the only one proud of the op for not giving in ? She was put on the spot and stood her ground

NTA on any level! That woman wasn’t asking to have her child watched, she was demanding it. “NO” is a complete sentence.

Michelle Fitzgerald :
I’m not a mother, but I personally wouldn’t let someone who I hardly know, take care of my child regardless of how tired I am. Just my opinion 🤷♀️

I personally would have helped, maybe not that day as there was already plans but I'd offer the next day. I remember being this desperate for a break.

NTA. Question is did she need the help because she had a meltdown or did she have a meltdown because she was told no?

Sahm/homeschool mom here. My husband works long hours 6 days a week. I haven’t had a break in months! It’s hard but my kids = my responsibility.

I feel like the sister in law was acting very entitled and tried to make her feel guilty into keeping the kid

Sounds like OP has boundaries and SIL doesn’t like that. NTA

Tina needs to talk to her husband about helping her and giving her a break

Marci :
NTA. She said no it was a family day for her husband, her child and herself. SIL probably expected her to capitulate when she had the meltdown.

NTA. I don’t owe anyone anything. Plan accordingly 😌

No is a complete sentence. No explanation needed. That should’ve been between Jake & Tina so he could watch Cassie, not badger someone to do it.

me in the beginning: yes, yes she is. after your explanation: ... fine, you're right 🙄

NTA! This is why I hate the phrase “it takes a village.” Some people assume their village will be free!

Mar.Xtabay :
I think that we're just used to having to say yes because everyone is expected to be nice, but we don't owe it to people to be nice or accommodating.+

Samm C :
that's why Tina has meltdowns because she know it's gets her her own way. I wouldn't have watched her kids either, she wanted just a family day

Sorry why didn’t she get her own help/nanny?

It doesn’t sound like OP and SIL are close enough. I can understand not feeling comfortable enough babysitting her child. SIL sounds entitled.

NTA: OP informed everyone that they were taking a day trip. SIL waited for others to leave before asking. OP says no-family day planned. That shouldve

NTA - SIL is the child’s Mom and needs to be communicating with Her Own Husband about needing a break.

I think the SIL needs to be asking AITA lol. the emotional guilt trip after the OP had explained they were having a family day

In my family, it would have been a no brainer to lesson each others load. I would have offered a different time, if it was family time.

Staciefacexo :
Maybe Tina should reach out to her husband to help her more with the child.

I think that if they were all there for that amount of time, she could’ve chosen any other day to ask for her daughter to be looked after not that day

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed with my kids, but I never expect someone else to deal with them!

That kind of emotional outburst strikes me as manipulative, and the follow-up messages confirm that. If SIL wants a break, she needs to arrange it.

as a mom, I don't like other people's kids just because I have one.

As a mother, I would never expect anyone to watch my kids for me. My kids, my responsibility. If she said no then it’s no. Period.

Staci :
NTA. But I do feel for the sil sometimes we just need some help, asking isn’t easy. But I think mom helping was probably the better option. Though I’d always help with my niece.

NTA. It’s hard because if you did say yes then it will be expected every year. And 🥴

AwesomeMandy :
SIL is TA. OP clearly stated boundaries and “No” is a complete sentence. Asking to “borrow” the nanny is super no-no unless you also plan to pay them.

My brother has a step son & I absolutely want to include & get to know him. This is family you’re spending weeks at a time with. Like what’s the point of this vacation?

The.Gray.Lady :
If they’re not close to mom or child it would be weird to ask. Also, sounds like maybe the kid isn’t the best behaved 🤷♀️

I think she is TA. I don't feel like explaining myself but I know what it's like to be in Tina's position. 🥺

or maybe...a woman who was overwhelmed just asked for some help for one day...one day... and was rejected without any understanding.

First off. Who dumps their kid on someone else? I get that someone is overwhelmed from time to time, but where is her spouse? He should of stepped up
