Take a break

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States

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.

Wasn't there some kind of daycare/kids camp on the ship? I know I spent much of my time in one when my dad took me on a cruise when I was little.

I hope by paid, you mean that you paid for your own ticket. Only.

there is this wonderful word and it's pronounced "No"

I could have sworn OP said his sister and HER deadbeat boyfriend. Can't be the typical deadbeat if he's been able to make 5 babies!

You should talk to her and let her know you weren't happy about it.

There should be some childcare service on the cruise, leave them there.

How about "**** no" ? Not your kids, you paid. Plus, never take them anywhere again.

there’s a kid free area that you can put the kids at. what cruise line did you choose?
