    Font - I (F17) still live at home. My sister (28) is married and has two kids (5/3). Whenever she comes over to visit my parents and her stick me with the kids. This wouldn't be a problem except she doesn't visit for an evening. She will come for a week. And for that week I'm an unpaid nanny. If we go out to a restaurant I have to entertain them because my mom needs to talk to my sister and BIL.

    Font - You get the picture. My parents decided that since this was my last summer before I became an adult we would be going to Disneyland to celebrate my graduation. I asked who was going and they said it was just the three of us. But when we got to the airport my sister and her family were there. Strangely enough they were also going to Disneyland. I went into my backpack and grabbed my passport. I put it in my sock.

    Font - When we got to the international security I couldn't find it. We looked everywhere. I had to Uber home and I missed my flight. Oh well. I get to stay home by myself for a week of peace and quiet. My parents were very mad at me for losing my passport. The money they spent on my flight and entrance was wasted. Darn. My mom and sister have both been posting about how hard it is to be at Disneyland with two little ones. They both posted that I ruined the vacation by being so thoughtless.

    Product - My dad says he knows why I did and he understands. But he says I should have let him know so he didn't waste money. He said he would have gone along with my ruse. I feel bad about wasting money but I have been to Disneyland before. And I will go again later by myself or with friends.

I ruined the vacation because I was supposed to help with the kids or take care of them myself? So this wasn't about me?" ⠀ Reply homeschooling-mama 1d 32.3k 22 Awards Yeah.

    Font - NTA. sorahatch 1d Was going to Disneyland for *your* graduation even your idea? Or was it some kind of way for your sister to take her kids when she could have free babysitting? I'm honestly really disgusted by the way people take advantage of others, especially girls and women, for free babysitting.

    Font - ro ExRiverFish4557 1d Partassipant [4] NTA You asked who was going on the trip in order to avoid this exact situation. They lied, so you improvised. Sounds like you're having the better week. If you feel exceptionally generous, you could offer to repay them some amount, but I wouldn't feel obligated to do that.

    Font - RedshiftSinger 1d S 1 Award NTA. Their response in complaining about it being hard to deal with the kids and blaming you for "ruining" the vacation (by not being there?) is telling. They tried to scam you into being an unpaid babysitter instead of enjoying your vacation. Tell your dad that if you had been given notice that going on the vacation would mean being expected to spend the whole time babysitting, you could have given him notice that you wouldn't be going. But because they chose

    Font - No_Writing9686 OP • 1d 6 Awards Boy did your idea light off the fireworks. They both re getting lit into by everyone. I guess my mom promised my dad she wasn't going to invite my sister because this was supposed to be for me. She went behind his back. The whole trip has turned into a shit show because they had plans to go shopping and stuff while my dad, BIL, and I took the kids to Disneyland. My dad moped out so my mom, BIL, and sister have had to take care of them with no help. On the p
