[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is she responsible for anyone's kid but her own.  [/quote]

Because when BF and I are dealing with a bunch of little kids getting out the door, grabbing snacks, beach towels, coaxing on sunscreen, kissing booboos, and putting on sunhats, it’s my view that a relative is totally reasonably responsible for throwing snacks in a bag, adding chairs to the car, or asking if the kids have peed. Not sitting on their phones and asking why the cooler is empty. [/quote]

Your view is wrong.[/quote]

Nope. Your view is wrong.

Nope.  Their view is right.  Your kids are your responsibility.  NP.[/quote]

+1. I don’t expect my child-free cousins or friends who stay with us to take care of anyone other than themselves. And if I could use an extra pair of hands, I *ask for help,* with a please and a thank you, and tell them that I appreciate their help. It’s a request for help, not an entitled expectation that another adult should suddenly take on the responsibility of getting my kids ready/packing for them just because we’re spending time together.[/quote]
