34-year-old woman refuses to go on family vacation after being pressured to pay for adult brother last year, the family turns on her: “My mom said I’m ‘punishing the kids’”

Summer: vacation time is finally here in full swing, and whether you're an island gal booking Hawaii flights, a metropolitan princess pursuing museums in Paris, or the naturey adventurous type going ziplining in Thailand, everyone loves their own version of what vacation means to them. Some people travel for the food, some for the culture, and some just to breathe new air. For me, it's all about who you travel with.

I've usually traveled alone, but there's been a few times with friends. With friends, you could think beforehand it will be an amazing time together, but you learn a lot on the way. I went to Romania with a friend of mine, and let me tell you, we do not work as travel buddies. Family is nearly out of the question. Too many personalities, too much drama, but not everyone feels like that.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman who usually goes on an annual family vacation. This year she puts her foot down. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

AITA for refusing to go on the family vacation because I’m tired of always covering the extra costs?

If I were the protagonist is the story, I would probably do the same. There's no point in going if you know in advance that your boundaries are going to be crossed, and on top of that your wallet is going to be empty. There's a reason everyone is trying to drag her into the vacation.
