Completely shafted over in the christmas rota

I work in a call centre

Everyone has to work 2 out of the 3 bank holidays, I put in my preferred date of Xmas off

I have been scheduled to work Xmas day, new years eve and day

I then have the parents of toddlers asking me to cover their Christmas eve shifts as I am 'childless'. I have found out that the same people do infact have off Xmas day

Apologies, more of a rant but AIBU to be sick of the mentality of 'christmas is for kids'?! Despite me adoring the holiday

There should be a fair distribution of time off, whether you have small children, older children, no children or whatever. If you’re doing more of the bank holidays simply because you don’t have children, that’s unfair and needs to be challenged.

No advice, but it sounds unfair you have all the Christmas days and new years as well.
Could you ask someone why , or if they could change it to be a bit fairer?
