by One parent triggered a debate
The parent went to Mumsnet and said that the family was up to date in Great Britain and it was the only one who was packed the night before departure.
“DH [dear husband] And two older teenagers have done nothing. They hardly seem to have registered that we will go tomorrow, ”she said, adding that they had to leave at 8 a.m.
The defiant parent found that there are no clothes shops near the place where they stay because it is quite remote, and then asked: “AIBU [am I being unreasonable] just leave you on it “?
There were two main camps
The comment area was divided between those who thought that it was right and should leave it up to help them to be more independent, and those who wanted them to simply “sort” it to avoid stress and drama the next day.
A commentator recommended that to “give her family a warning because she will not pack for her and there will be no clothes shops” and then “leave her to him”.
Another said that he was also very clear that at 8 a.m. they “leave” regardless of whether they are ready to pack ” – some even suggested getting into the car and starting when the rest of the family was not finished at that time.
“You are not the budget project manager. If you are able to be physical and old enough (which it sounds), you have to deal with consequences,” said a respondent. “Hard but fair and I bet you won’t make this mistake again.”
But there were also some commentators who thought, op (original poster) would cause even more stress by taking a position.
In response to a comment that simply said: “Let it sort it now or tomorrow with drama,” said another Mumsnet user: “The only person who is now stressed is.
“I wouldn’t do it for you, but I would shout everyone to be packed tonight.”
The mental burden is alive and good
Post also encouraged other parents to share their handles if they were given the weight of responsibility when they tried to get their families out of the door for travel. Anyone who is booked, organized and full for a vacation with children will know exactly how much work goes into it.
“I will guarantee that someone (not you) will ask during your vacation: ‘Have We Brought painkillers/plaster/shampoo/cards, ”said a commentator.
Another said: “This is my family and they make my head in! I was always packed the day before. DH [dear husband] and ds [dear son] Say casually: “Oh yes, I’ll do it when I get up. It will only take 5 minutes, and then she always spent the next day, while I am being wrapped and we end up in the end about an hour later when I wanted … It is important. And if you had packed the night before getting up, had a leisurely breakfast and had gone on time without stress or arguments. “
One parent revealed that her mother “always” grabs her father’s bag. “She forgot his blood pressure medication for a year. It was 17 years ago and he still puts it on,” they said. “I decided to learn from their mistakes and never take part in packing for ie [dear husband].
“The teenagers are difficult as if they are disorganized, it could ruin the start on vacation. I would offer help,” she added.
Later in the post, OP announced that her sons had finally started packing after she had found that her husband had “apparently” told them that they had only lunch.
“Both children now sort out their things, including bags, backpacks, telephone charges, headphones, etc.,” she said. “DH [dear husband] still plays a computer game. I reminded him again, but that’s the last time. “
