[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. It's always the 3+ kids parents who just expect other adults to watch their kids on outings, in public, etc. WATCH YOUR OWN KIDS. It doesn't "take a village," it takes YOU to be the parents. The village already done raised their kids, or only had one or two for a reason, do you get it?[/quote]

Kind of harsh, but true. My husband and I chose to have 2 because we feel that is managable and works for us financially, energy-wise, etc. My sister has 4 and acts like it is everybody's responsibility to help her because it's sooooooo hard and she never gets a break.

No! This is my vacation. My husband and I take equal time with our kids and give each other breaks so that we can get time to ourselves and time to properly chat with other adults, talk to the older nieces and nephews, etc. I'm sorry you feel overwhelmed, but I'm busy being a parent to my kids and enjoying my vacation; YOU need to watch your kids, *or ask someone else to watch them for a bit so you can relax, but at least recognize it is a FAVOR, and say "please" and "thank you."*

If she would just ASK and be grateful for the help, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the whole "everyone is in charge of my kids" attitude is so obnoxious![/quote]
