Entitlement

I'm not understanding why people feel they are entitled to certain things. True if u do something nice for someone you obviously would like them to return the favor and equally do something nice for you. However you should never do anything because you are expecting something in return. Anything I do is because I genuinely want to do it. It's not, ok I'll lend you a hand but I'm going to always remember this and when I need you I don't want to hear you can't do it.

I feel siblings have ish all confused as well. Yes your sister should want to babysit every now and then but you can't expect them to be your on call babysitter. They have lives too and they can decline to watch YOUR kid. It's not and will never be their responsibility unless they choose to make it so. As much as you would love their help, they have to know you appreciate what they are doing. It becomes especially tricky if they are living 'under' your roof. If you make rules that they need to follow, which you will, they can still decline to take care of your seed. The reality is your child is your responsibility and you can't get mad at anyone for not wanting to put their lives on hold for you. It does suck especially if you have helped them in the past, however you can't expect people to the things you've done for them. They aren't you, accept it and move on.
