Aita for telling my SIL I want nothing to do with her or her kids?

r/

Whatever my SIL has going on I don’t bother with, even when she doesn’t show up to the family events I’m okay with it. We used to be cool but she ruined it badly, just by thinking about herself.

2 years ago i started working in a hospital after I graduated from nursing school, so I had many hours to work there. My husband works late so he couldn’t watch the kids, my mom usual watched them but she was on her honeymoon. Then it was down to my sil, I babysat her kids before so I didn’t think she’ll mind watching mine. She was up to it and said she’s glad I asked her, so I dropped my kids off to her house.

While I was working I did check up on the kid to make sure they were OK, they were and they told me that they were playing with their cousin so I just got back to work. It went an hour I didn’t hear from my kids, my SIL sent a picture of them on the swings.

That’s when I got a call from the police, I’m wondering if I’m in trouble or someone I know and I was right. So my SIL was with my kids and her kids shoplifting, the cops had call because they were going to take my sister so I needed to leave work and get my kids. I was pissed of course because she put kids in danger, and I trusted her.

So after that I stopped talking to her, the whole family knew so some stopped talking to her. I couldn’t trust her again, I did block her but she found a way to get back in contact with me. I guess she got a a new phone, her text messages showed up as spam. I read it, basically her asking how I’m doing and if we could meet up with the kids. I don’t know this made me suspicious, I wasn’t falling for it. I told her we won’t do that so bye, this woman replied back fast. She asked me why not? She has no one else to talk to, and I told her I want nothing to do with her or her kids.
