‘Get used to it’: 23-year-old bails on the family vacation after getting woken up every day at 5 AM by his brother's screaming kids, then he gets scolded for ‘ruining the trip’

For many of us overworked and underpaid employees in the workforce, vacation is all about relaxing. All inclusive resorts and long, lazy mornings plague our thoughts when we're on the clock as we imagine a delicious swim-up-bar mai tai under the golden glow of the afternoon sun. When we finally get the time to take off of work, we desperately need a break from the chaos. 

This 23-year-old uncle was hardly prepared for the rude awakening he received when he agreed to go on a vacation with his family. 

Freshly into the workforce—yet equally exhausted as any of us—this man was thrilled to accompany his family for a restful week-long retreat at the lake house. Brimming with fatigue and fighting the bags under his eyes, nothing sounded lovelier than a hot cup of coffee on the porch overlooking the lake after an 8-10 hour sleep session. Life was about to be pretty great for him, until he realized his brother's kids liked to wake up at dawn, engaging in boisterous tomfoolery and loud screaming games before the sun even cracked over the horizon.
