Family dynamics are never simple. Even those who are blessed with great relatives are going to have their issues, and most people don't receive that blessing. Most of us have some unwelcome realizations about our family members as we grow up, and if we're really unlucky, these can impact us severely.
One individual who has been dealing with this epiphany is a young Redditor, who asked for extra opinions after she went against her family's wishes. She did this by pretending to lose her passport to avoid vacationing with them.
A Disneyland trip had been planned to supposedly celebrate her graduation, but she hatched a plan to get out of it when her older sister and her kids turned up at the airport with them. Explaining how her sibling always made her take care of the children whenever she visited, it meant that she couldn't see herself having much of a holiday.
Most of her fellow Redditors were sympathetic to her reasoning, even if the stunt had wasted money on the family's behalf. Taking responsibility is one thing, but being shoehorned into a specific role is another.
