Boohoo.
Having dinner with a couple of friends who live abroad tonight and they were telling us about how they “need a holiday from their holiday” because after all the skiing and mountain climbing they’ve been doing, sightseeing and partying in London is just over the top.
They also managed to share how they go on holiday every 6 weeks or so as their business manages itself these days.
Before anyone rushes to state the obvious, yes, I 100% am jealous, and would absolutely kill to go on precisely the kind of holiday they described. Magic away our little children, the aches that come with many hours at the office followed by bouncing babies up and down to convince them to sleep. Drinking wine, without worrying about a 5am wake up because our DD needs a pee 😂😂😂. It would be too beautiful.
So now for my AIBU… AIBU for wanting to throttle my holiday weary friend, or better still, sentence her to just one week of babysitting?
YANBU: yes, a bit of babysitting will absolutely re-energise her in preparation for her upcoming trip to mount Everest / Maldives / <insert desirable location of choice>.
YABU: you chose to have children, you are so bitter, why all the violent talk, maybe you need professional support, have you considered therapy etc etc.
