[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like your brother and SIL like to complain, not that they personally find you objectionable.  Let it go.  [/quote]
I agree with this!

[quote=Anonymous]Also, you live in the same city and only see them once a month?  Initiate more often, and then you can feel like more of an aunt/uncle to your new niece.[/quote]
But not this.

I don't understand why you continue to offer to babysit at all.  I recall a previous post that might have been from you --- not asking you to babysit, despite your experience, not respecting your accomplishments, etc.

I think all of you need to remember that babysitting is a favor from you to them.  If anyone is uncomfortable (you or the parents), then just don't do it.

To answer your specific question, in response to your bro, I would probably have asked: Is there something in particular you want me to do with her?

But bigger picture -- I would not babysit again for the forseeable future.  It is obvious that no one can be perfect enough for these parents.
