Here’s the thing just because someone doesn’t have kids doesn’t mean they don’t have a life. Randomly dumping kids on op and excluding them from family was a crappy thing to do.
Yeah I'm not watching 4 kids under 4 for a week for free in an apartment. I know this story is fake but I've watched a "friends" 4 kids in a 700 sqft apartment for 2 years because I thought their family was struggling. Then she bought her husband a new car, found out they didn't have to pay rent where they lived and they where actually really well off. Cut that nonsense off as soon as I found out
Responsible one? So I guess it's ok to be responsible to have someone babysit while everyone goes to party on a cruise. What a horrible family. OP did the right thing and made them responsible.
I remember this issue when aunts and uncles uesed visit my parents house oh don't worry about baby sitting our daughter will do it Never asked just the normal having a baby sitter living at my parents house
You have a mouth !! Learn to use it !! Let them take care of thier own kids. They made them they are responsible for them !! Stop beeing a weakling !! Express your views/ opinions!! The more you stay silent the more they will walk all over you !! Now its your time !! You deserve it !!
Es frustrante que te hayan dejado con tanta responsabilidad sin considerar tus propios planes o necesidades. Espero que puedas encontrar apoyo y establecer límites claros en el futuro.
I will never ever understand why these people extort your time for their own affairs. I would start tell the family that you are no longer available for babysitting , or any other family affairs as it is getting in the way of your career. And you career vis more important than anything . I know many kids that are tellIng the family that they can babysit their own children. This is the one thing that breaks up family's so often in the last 20 years, it is time for OP to tell them that she is not longer sacrifice her time and career for someone else's vacation. I would blot and block these Freeloaders. YOU DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. NOTHING THEIR LIFE'S
I really hate when families with toxic dynamics try to pull the "We're Family" line on each other when the OP makes a difficult decision! They're not even trying to understand the reasoning, and instead are trying to fix the loop of endless excuses to keep the OP as their puppet filled with anxiety and manipulation. Yes, families do help each other, but they also support each other whenever someone is going through a tough time or achieved a milestone in their lives, and they always work on communication too. Nothing will be resolved if proper communication is at risk
ohh bc in families that that the 'adults' always need a break and always expect the child free or black sheep to watch the kids as if they're grown and don't get a say ... f that nonsense LMAO
I can think of a few reasons. For starters it's cheaper that way since they don't have to pay for kids tickets, also they would not need to keep them occupied or otherwise entertained which would limit their options of how to relax since not every attraction on the cruise is kid friendly. Also crowded places like cruise ships are stuffed full of people who don't know or care about each other and not 100% safe places for kids so momentary lapse of supervision would end up with a wild goose chase to find a lost kid etc. In short if you want relaxing, stress free, all options included cruise you keep the kids at home.
Make your own vacation and don't tell anyone packed your bags and leave the same day they are leaving and don't feel guilty about anything you are not there slave or stayed at home care giver stand your ground and don't give in

"Families help each other." Meaning, YOU help everybody else.
SAm people who use the word selfish are the same people who use the statement but .. family

Call child services and have the police pick them up

One thing about this family, they never seemed to get legal authority to have her watch the kid. The parental alienation is unbelievably arrogant

Good for you OP they didn’t even ask you they just assumed which is just rude when you assume something you make an ass out of yourself.

If you expect someone to babysit for a week, at a bare minimum you need to reserve their time in advance.
Hell NO! No way
Heard this story on another channel. The OP was older, one sibling was a male

Tell them, I am showing you the same consideration you showed me !

No Contact.
Should be parents go on holiday with golden child to find 4 kids in care and a dead phone line to op
I like this
Call CPS
They always work in IT and live in Seattle.
And have a supportive relative and meet at a coffee shop and have horrible relatives. . .
Pleased her Aunt Jean is suppoetive.

This is from another post!! It's just re worded for a younger OP!
I noticed that too.
If anything Babysitting is the grandparents obligation
Being a grandparent I disagree, we have done our bit and deserve peace and quiet in retirement
@@DavidMurray-v7h tell it... things like make folks slap the common sense into them.
Um . . . Since when? As a grandmother I can state that I do not live in a stagnant world just waiting to babysit.
This is a fun, well structured story but a real person who isn't a serial fiction poster wouldn't spend like 10 hours writing all this up
This story doesn't make any sense. If it's a family cruise, why are they leaving the kids at home? AI stories are full of plot holes 😂😂
ohh bc in families that that the 'adults' always need a break and always expect the child free or black sheep to watch the kids as if they're grown and don't get a say ... f that nonsense LMAO
They want to get drunk leave all the kid stuff to others but yes lots of plot holes here

OP family is extremely selfish. I cut contact with them after this.
Nope!!!
What l can say you made big mess. You shoud say at the begging no i am not going to look after your children.. you behave like adolescent....
I think she did say that. They didn't listen.
Hate the narrators voice.
