Throwaway, I’ll keep it quick.

(Also you might’ve seen this earlier today, I tried posting but it got taken down quickly because of formatting issues, so I’m posting again)

My cousin, who I’ll call Ella, got married a couple of months ago. I made her wedding cake as well as almost 150 individually wrapped custom cupcakes. I have a 5 year old daughter, in return Ella was going to babysit every Friday from 9-2, so 5 hours. This started from after she came back from her honeymoon until August. Obviously if there was an emergency or something came up, I’d understand.

So on Wednesday she called me up saying she couldn’t make it on Friday, because her old college friends were in town and she hadn’t seen them for a long time. I said this is really last minute and asked if they can just go out another day or after she babysits, but Ella said no.

We argued for a bit and I eventually said she was being really selfish, making plans when she already had others. She got upset/mad at me and said I can’t dictate what she does with her time, and it’s only one day. We haven’t talked since then. People who know of the situation are torn on it.

So, AITA?
