Am I wrong? 😑
Long story short me and my sister live together and I pull most of the weight with household duties as in cleaning, making dinner etc. I was watching her kid for her also till i realized I was putting waaaayy too much on my plate when I have one responsibility and that’s MY daughter… so i stopped. I stopped doing all the cleaning and cooking. I also stopped tending to all my nieces wants/needs and started telling her go ask her mom. Now when I wake up in the mornings I ignore my niece and continue on with my daughter’s routine until her mom wakes up and does for her. I can tell it bothers my sister that I ignore her kid.. but she’s not my responsibility. No one looks after my daughter for me so I can sleep in so I’m not going to do that for anyone else… am I wrong ?

Nop. It's perfect. If she is not willing to be your village, you don't have to be hers
I agree with @Sue 100%........now if she wants to pay most of the bills since you were doing so much that's different.
Have you talked to her about it? My mind goes to how cool it would be if you could take turns doing mornings with the kids vs sleeping in.. and figuring out which duties suit each of you to split the load.. but sharing responsibilities like that would take lots of communication, willingness and generosity on both sides
You're not wrong at all
