Reserve situation?

I saw this on the debil and after months of reading your stories complaining about having to beg their mother to babysit makes me cringe. Why complain about having your own space? Are there truest people like this who actually want to be dependants as adults? Any stories about a situation similar to this? I really don't know what to call it. I for one would never ask mil or my own parents to babysit one time. That's just like asking for the floodgate of trouble to open
Eta: the woman who posted this status has THREE SETS of twins. So I don't blame her mother at all for saying no
