[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]

Um, no, she’s not responsible for doing all that for other people’s kids. Sorry.

How far away does she live? I think you should just tell her you think it’s too crowded with all the kids and say, but we’d love you to come over and hang out a few times![/quote]

Do you really not help out kids who are related to you? [/quote]

I was the childless aunt for a while. My older sister treated me like I was her au pair. I don’t take three tons of stuff when I go to the beach, and neither did my mom when we were kids. If she wants to set up a damn small town on the beach everyday, she can haul it herself. Not my job.[/quote]

+1 I definitely get that vibe from OP.[/quote]
