Teenager's family expects her to babysit all her nieces and nephews instead of relaxing, so she ditches family vacation » TwistedSifter

In many families, there is always one person who seems to be the first to be affected.

And this person's family has stuck with him for years…until now!

They had enough and finally decided to put an end to it.

Check out their story and see if you think they're doing the right thing.

“I’m the little oops in my family.

I am ten years younger than my youngest brother.

My brothers, sister, and parents often used me as an unpaid babysitter when I was little so I could “bond” with my nieces and nephews.

Every time a family vacation comes around, my parents and siblings will have fun and leave me with all the kids since I can't go to some of the places they go or am told I won't be probably not interested in doing it. some of the things they do.

They're done.

I decided at Christmas that I was done babysitting.

So I continue with all the planning. I help my parents research great local restaurants in the city we're going to.

I help my siblings find cool and interesting things for all the kids to do. It will be an extraordinary vacation.

That I'm going to blow…

They are ready to be alone in the world.

I'm going to college out of state in the fall. I have a partial scholarship and money from my grandparents for my studies and my future.

My parents can't hold anything over my head. Actually, I'm going on vacation with a few friends.

My parents aren't abusive or anything. They're just old.

And my brothers and sisters are from a different generation than me. My older brother is literally old enough to be my father.

They treat me more like a child than a brother or sister.

I'm curious to see how their vacation goes without me. Obviously I can't help them plan childcare in advance.

And reservations at some restaurants don't include me or the kids.

Also, on days when they have adult outings, they have planned for the kids and me to be somewhere else.

My oldest niece is only 15, so I don't think they'll let her be in charge. But they prepared her to take my place when I go to school, so maybe they will help her.

It's not really my problem.

Let's get the facts straight.

A few things before I give myself over to judgment.

I have made it clear several times in the past that I do not want to babysit. I requested payment and was told being on vacation was my payment.

I love my family but I don't love them very much.

Like I said, my parents are old and if they weren't Catholic they probably wouldn't have had me.

My siblings don't treat me as an equal. Which is right. I am 17 years old and just graduated from high school.

They are all working professionals. We don't have much in common.

I love my siblings but they don't treat me like an aunt like they do my sister. I'm more like the older cousin.

And finally, I thought about this for a long time. I agree to fuck them everywhere.

We went on a family trip to Spain last summer and I couldn't do anything I wanted except go to the beach because I was watching the kids.

So I missed the Guggenheim in Bilbao and the Prado in Madrid. With other things.

It was the last straw.”
