20 . AITJ For Taking My Sister's Kids To Church While Babysitting?
"I babysit my sister's kids on Sunday for free. She has left the church while I have not.
Now since I babysit I take the kids with me to church since I will not stop going and going late at night doesn’t work for me.I informed her the first time she dropped off the kids that I would still attend church.
I got a call today with her upset because the oldest was asking questions about god. I informed her again that I have been taking them to church when I babysit like I said I would since I wasn’t missing it.
She’s upset and we got into an argument about it.
AITJ for this?"Another User Comments:
"NTJ, you didn’t hide this from her in any way. She’s only upset about it now one of them is asking questions. If she’s so bothered by it, she should find other arrangements for the kids instead of wanting you to change something very important to you." Markeerstiften

"NTJ I'm a middle-aged Jewish man by birth, atheist by choice. If you told your sister that you'd be going to church on Sunday no matter what, it's on her that you took them. She had/has the choice to make other childcare arrangements.
You're in the clear in my opinion." sdswikiAnother User Comments:
"NTJ. I'm not religious at all, and I don't care for religion. That being said, you told her that you were still going to church, and although you didn't exactly specify that you'd be bringing them, there's no logical explanation for why you might say this unless to imply that you're bringing the kids with you.
If she doesn't like those conditions, then she should get a different sitter." chaingun_samurai
