“Sister’s Shocking Insult Sparks Controversy: Did This Non-Parent’s Refusal to Babysit Cross the Line?”
Prioritizing yourself and your children isn’t a sin. You can love your siblings very much and have meaningful relationships with them without being at their every beck and call. Saying ‘no’ when you mean it, being authentic, and protecting your boundaries are all mature things to do. Telling someone they don’t have it as hard because they have fewer kids, on the other hand, is very immature.
It’s definitely possible to reestablish a good connection between the two siblings, but it’ll require the sister to change her attitude, cut back on the requests, and show that she respects her brother. Rebuilding that trust probably won’t come easy and will take a long time, though. Starting things off with a sincere apology, taking responsibility for the hurtful comment, and a promise to change is probably a good start.
