A while back, me and a couple of close friends planned this vacation together. The whole vibe was meant to be relaxing, adults-only, no responsibilities. We literally picked an adults-only resort, spa days, late dinners, all the stuff you just can’t really enjoy with kids around. Everyone was on the same page, it was meant to be our little “reset.”

Fast-forward to when my sister finds out about the trip. She immediately asks if she can come along… with her three kids. I told her no, because, first, it’s literally not kid-friendly and, second, it would completely change the vibe for everyone else who signed up for a child-free trip. She seemed a little annoyed, but I figured that was the end of it.

First ADULTS ONLY means exactly that. NO KIDS. Second, how did sister find out about the trip. Third, what person in their right mind would think kids should be brought on an ADULTS ONLY vacation. Fourth, tell your family that you didn’t refuse to take her and her kids, this was a vacation for YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS planned for months. Tell your family to plan their own vacation with your sister and her kids.

Well, we finally get to the resort, and I’m in full chill mode, until I notice a bunch of missed calls from my mom. I call her back, and she immediately goes off on me, saying I was “selfish” for not letting my sister and the kids come along, that I left her in a “tough spot” (IDK what that even means because this was never her vacation to begin with).
