Or at least, thats the plan.
But when someone ambushes you with babysitting duties, its less partying and more nap time.
Sam and his friends had meticulously planned a glorious weekend of partying, poolside relaxation, and zero responsibilities.
A fancy hotel thats more about cocktails than milk bottles.
Oh, and they had a tiny request for him play babysitter for his niece while they relaxed.
The same vacation hed been looking forward to for months and splurged on?
The one that involved pool parties, not playdates?
To make matters worse, theseentitled peopleeven told Sam that he doesnt have anything better to do anyway.
Id probably be livid at this point, wouldnt you?
Sure, Sam adores hisniece.
But that doesnt mean hes ready to swap his margaritas for mac and cheese duty.
Plus, his brother and sister-in-laws surprise was less of a happy coincidence and more of a manipulative ambush.
And our guy admits he struggles to set boundaries.
Theprossay the trick is staying consistent, firm yet respectful.
Trust me, theyll survive without you for a weekend.
After all, its their entitlement that landed them in that situation.
So, its basically a The world owes me pop in of mentality.
Stay calm, stand your ground, and dont engage in their manipulative tactics.
If they give a shot to guilt-trip you or play the victim, just call it out politely.
Keep it short, sweet, and drama-free.
You get bonus points if you could escape the conversation with your cocktail intact.
