Redditor Calls CPS On Neighbors Who Constantly Dump Their Kids On Her And Her Roommates

Every parent needs a break sometimes. So, it's only natural to ask a trusted person to babysit now and then.

But what happens when that "now and then" becomes constant and unwelcome? Well, Reddit user u/Lanky-Studio5874 recently shared a story in the AITA (Am I The A**hole?) subreddit on this exact topic.

The OP explained that she and her three roommates - Casey, Nellie, and Hannah - share an apartment, along with Hannah's eight-month-old daughter. Their neighbors - John and Jane - have a set of one-year-old twins who they often bring over for playdates with Hannah's daughter.

However, recently things have been getting out of hand with John and Jane using the playdates as an excuse to dump their children on Hannah and her roommates for hours at a time without even answering their phones. The OP says she has no problem looking after the kids sometimes, but they all have busy lives and have often had to be late to work or school because they couldn't get hold of John and Jane, which is a problem.

The final straw was when the OP and her roommates were getting ready to go out, and John stopped them, saying he needed Hannah to look after the twins so that he could go and see a movie. The OP told him they were not babysitters, and if he dumped the kids on them again without being reachable, they would call social services.

John's response was to call them "a bunch of spineless leeches," and the other neighbors in the building sided with him. In a later update, the OP said they did, in fact, end up calling CPS on John and Jane.

Now, the OP and her roommates are planning to move as soon as their lease is up. Keep scrolling to see how people reacted.
