I'm just tired of being the "Mom"
I'm on a vacation with my family but I've been taking care of people most the time. Everyone is enjoying themselves and doing their thing but here I am, taking care of people, itinerary, their whereabouts, etc. I'm exhausted and frustrated coz I want to have fun too. I feel like I paid this trip to babysit people!!!
I just wish I can take a day of alone and just be free from taking care of people and things!
@FluffyBakedPotato do it! Just leave for the day, go do something fun (but also safe) forget about the others,you deserve this holiday just as much as them. So go have fun, right now don't think just go have fun ❤❤
@FluffyBakedPotato I feel you! Take some time for yourself, maybe just slip away or straight up tell them you're taking some time for yourself. They'll be just fine! You deserve a vacation just as much as everyone else! 💖
I agree that you should do it. And there are many reasons why. First you deserve to have a vacation on your vacation, second, maybe it’ll help people realize how much you look after and that they can and should step up so you don’t have to be the “mom” of the trip and third, people treat us the way we allow them to treat us. I struggled with this so much, and still do, but it’s true. I’ve allowed things, I’ve gone above and beyond and quietly been unhappy and exhausted and it wasn’t until I spoke up and changed that people realized how I felt. Idk if you have expressed this to the people on the trip but if you haven’t, it would be good to. They aren’t mind-readers and if you’re frustrated and need to unwind too, they need to know that
Good luck!!
@FluffyBakedPotato That is understandable. Maybe have a chat with your family and let them know, that you need some "me" time as well.
I hope this helps.
@FluffyBakedPotato leave them there and travel some where else or hire a hit man or be the hit man that is unless you wanna commit
Many people can relate to this feeling unfortunately and I am sorry you are experiencing this as well. It's no fun! If you're able to (not saying it is easy especially depending on the temperament of everyone else) try to have a day or even a meal by yourself so you can really enjoy your time. I wish you the best of luck with everything and I hope you get to relax for at least some part of the vacation!
