Helping people and being kind to others is an amazing thing that any human being can do. Supporting family members when they need it is something that many of us do without hesitation. Whether it’s offering emotional support, lending a hand with chores or financial assistance, we do it because we love our family and want to see them happy and living a fulfilling life. However, it can be hurtful when we put in effort to help our loved ones, only to receive complaints or criticism in return and understand that they would never do the same for us.

Good thing that her nap was more important than the baby or looking for work while sitting with the baby. I mean come on. Adults who mooch are so entitled these days when people go out of the way to help out. Wow. I'd say sorry you got one month to contribute or be gone. Either cash or cleaning or bye.

Well she got proven right to have them sign a lease quickly. Although I'm not sure I'd completely trust them after something like that, they sound like the kind of people who would try to get more out of the situation as revenge or start making false claims

NTA. It's irresponsible to hand off the care of someone else's child to a 13 year old. SIL likely fully intended to hand her off as she took on the responsibility, only for her to take a nap. She is just a sad person, if you can't manage your responsibilities for a few hours and want to blame someone else when you get caught being shady and lazy. She may even blame her son as well for taking the child to their mother for a diaper change. I wouldn't put it past someone who behaves the way SIL does. They need to abide by the rules or get out and stop blaming others for their inactions..
