I have family home from abroad on holidays. Nearly every second night they are drinking wine and getting very merry. As a result they are not really providing much time or attention to their children.
I am often in work and sometimes work late and I come home and then the children jump on me nearly and there's no proper break for me. I am tired.
Then are mornings where they are hungover and I am nearly expected to pick up the childcare too.
I love my nephews and nieces I really really really do and I am heartbroken of having to work and not being able to spend as much time with them but this is something else as well. They aren't really showing much concerns or respect towards me.
I am just so so so tired being pulled in so many directions and the headaches I am experiencing at eunreal due to stress with hardly any break or recreational time for me.
I am so sick of it too. They are parents - mind your children and stop expecting free babysitters from family all the time. I know they are on holidays but that doesn't turn them into child free people. Can they not consider their children and maybe reduce the drinking to once a week or so. Fuck sake, I don't have children but I aim not to get sick or hungover because I can't afford it and I am not able for it. Can they not consider their kids and just quit with the drinking every second night and with the hangovers too.
