00:00My mother got pregnant again and I snapped in front of everyone. My mom's 42 and already has
00:03six kids. Six. She started having babies right after she married my dad at 18 and never stopped.
00:08She was actually smart in high school. Could have been a nurse or teacher, but nah, she chose diapers
00:11and chaos instead. My dad works construction, barely making enough to feed all of us. My mom
00:15doesn't work and hasn't had a job since I was born. And somehow I'm the oldest, so I became the free
00:19babysitter the moment I could walk. Every diaper change, every scraped knee, every tantrum became
00:23my responsibility. I'm 20 now, working two jobs trying to save for college. But guess who keeps
00:27getting told to watch the kids instead of going to class? Not ass told. My mom literally says,
00:31watch your brothers while I go grocery shopping. Like I don't have my own life or dreams that matter.
00:35If I complain about missing school or work, it's you're being selfish. These are your siblings.
00:38Meanwhile, I haven't been to a friend's house in three years because someone always needs something.
00:42I missed my high school graduation party because the baby was sick and needed watching. The younger
00:45kids call me dad half the time because I'm the one who helps with homework, reads bedtime stories,
00:49and takes them to doctor appointments. My actual father works so much. He's basically a stranger who
00:53comes home exhausted every night. I've been saving every penny from my jobs to finally escape this
00:56house and start my own life. Community college isn't glamorous, but it's my ticket out of being
01:00a permanent unpaid childcare worker for my parents' endless stream of babies. So Thanksgiving rolls
01:04around and I notice right away. My mom's not drinking coffee, which she normally lives on.
01:08She's been sick every morning for weeks, throwing up and looking tired. I knew what was coming but
01:11hoped I was wrong. She stands up during dinner in front of the whole extended family and announces
01:15with this huge smile that she's pregnant again. Kid number seven. Everyone claps like she just solved
01:19world hunger. My dad looks terrified but forces a smile for appearances. The younger kids don't
01:23even understand what's happening. They just clap because everyone else is clapping. My grandparents
01:27are congratulating her like this is some amazing achievement instead of another mouth we can't
01:30afford to feed. I sit there silent trying not to lose my mind. Another baby means another few years
01:34of me being stuck in this house. Another few years of my dreams being put on hold while I change diapers
01:38and give bottles and lose sleep. Later she corners me in the kitchen asking if I'm okay about the baby.
01:42She's acting like I should be excited about more responsibility being dumped on me. I try to play it cool but
01:46she keeps pressing wanting me to share her joy. So I ask if she and dad can even afford another kid when
01:50we're already struggling to pay bills. She looks me dead in the face and says God will provide like
01:54that's some kind of financial plan that pays rent. That's when I snapped. I said no I provide me. I
01:59change diapers and make bottles and babysit every weekend while you and dad make more kids you can't
02:03take care of. I asked her if she knew what protection was. If she'd ever heard of condoms or
02:07birth control. The whole family went silent like I just said something unspeakable. My dad turned red
02:11with embarrassment. My mom started crying saying I was being cruel and hurtful. My aunts and uncles just
02:15stared at me in shock. I told them I wasn't their built-in nanny anymore. I had my own life to live and
02:18dreams to chase. I was tired of sacrificing my future so they could keep having babies they
02:22expected me to help raise. My mom screamed that I was ungrateful and selfish after everything they'd
02:26done for me. My dad told me to leave the house immediately. My siblings just stared at me like
02:30I'd committed some terrible crime against the family. I packed my stuff that night and moved in
02:33with my friend whose parents said I could stay as long as I needed. Now I'm banned from family dinners
02:37until I apologize for speaking the truth about their irresponsible choices. But honestly I feel free for
02:41the first time in years. I can go to college without worrying about who's watching the kids. I can work
02:45toward my future instead of sacrificing it for theirs. I can actually sleep through the night
02:49without a crying baby waking me up. My mom keeps texting asking when I'm coming home. Says the kids
02:52miss me and need their big brother. But I'm not going back to being their unpaid child care. They
02:56made their choices now they can deal with the consequences without using me as a crutch.
