Why does everyone around me act like another child?

I have DS 5 who is, well, 5..so he a young kid who needs all the stuff a young kid needs which is exhausting.
Add to that DH who is monumentally laid back and leaves everything to the last minute and has to be asked 50 times.
Add to that my mum who turns up today for a day trip she asked to come on inappropriately dressed with no food and then needs sorting, like another child.
I WFH in a demanding job and spend my day off sorting stuff out, changing the beds, cleaning the bathrooms etc. just wanted one easy day out the house.
AIBU to become totally dysregulated at times and feel like since I've become a mum, I seem to have become everyone's fucking mum?

So stop it. Stop facilitating them.

Choose to not sort basic things for adults, they can sort the natural consequences of their stupid choices.
If your husband is a burden rather than life enhancing and a functional, equal parent, consider what the point of him is.

Because you will do it and fundamentally they (your DH in particular) does not respect and care enough about you to make your life easier rather than harder.
