Take a break

Today, while on a cruise that I paid for, I was forced to babysit my 5 bratty nieces while my sister and her deadbeat boyfriend relaxed in the kid free zone. FML

Forced? Be honest, you allowed yourself to be talked into it. You need to stand up for yourself, then enjoy your cruise and let your sister and the asshole take care of their own damned kids while you have fun.

You paid for it, you could have just left and did your own thing before they did.

There's usually a kid hang out area, ditch them there.

Totally agree. I used to be way to nice to everyone, but that didn't make me happy. I felt so much more independent once I started allowing myself to say no.

Wow thats a pretty shit thing to do, sorry OP!

5 kids with a deadbeat boyfriend? your sister needs a new hobby..

She has a hobby though! It's that cool new babymaker game everyone's talking about. It's called Sex!

Nope! Get her selfish ass.out of the kid free zone and make her be their parent. If you don't you definitely deserve it.

And what makes you think they even gave the OP the opportunity to say "No"?

Why didn't you stick them in the kid zone and make the staff watch them??

#51, What makes you think OP couldn't have just left the nieces with the deadbeats if they didn't give OP the chance to say no?

Learn to love the word "no". No one can force you to do anything. Just tell them "it's your kids, your problem"
