AITA for not taking my niece in?
I, (27f) don't want to take in my niece (12f). My eldest sister (31) had her when she was very young, and isn't responsible, often leaving her alone for several days at a time, which we recenty discovered. My other sister (29f) has taken in her in several times to care for her, and really has done an amazing job. The idea of getting her away from her mother has occured. The thing is, she has a husband and kids of her own, and her husband hates the idea of raising someone else's kid.
I finally have a place to my own, and immediately I was asked to go get her for the weekend, because her mom abandoned her again.
She has been picked up from my house, but I was asked how I would feel taking her in for extended periods of time, like the entire summer break. I very much said hell no. I don't want kids. I was hoping to eventually find a man of my own. I feel like a terrible person but I never had any intention of having kids, and I also do not think I am very responsible.
She isn't a "pleasant suprise" to have around. She's a ball of stress for me. Even for only one weekend. I'm finally getting myself "together," and think it's a bit cruel of life to put me on this spot. Additionally, I do not handle stressors well. What if I do end up becoming a screaming mess?
Aita?
