Beach Blues
I’m currently on a beach trip with my sister, her friend, and my friend. I drove us almost 8 hours through traffic to get here, and now it’s like I’m expected to do everything?!?! Like I make dinner, I wash dishes, if something is stained I have to get it out, etc. Also, we went to the store and my sister’s friend bought the aloe (we all got sunburned) while the rest of us got other items (ex more sun screen, water, snacks, face-masks for a group fun night etc) and now she doesn’t want us to use it? Like she hides it in her room most of the time? If I had known that she didn’t want us to use it, I would have gotten us some while we were at the store for the group to use.
She also hasn’t given me any gas money which isn’t a super big deal. It’s just inconsiderate for her to use crap that we purchased and not let us use “the aloe she bought.” I just wish that she’d expressed that it wasn’t going to be for the group so that we could have gotten aloe for ourselves.
This has just been a really stressful beach trip because I’ve had to truly be “the adult” because other people won’t pitch in. If I want them to help at all when it doesn’t directly benefit them, I have to specifically ask and even then they complain and sometimes don’t do it. I‘d appreciate any advice, and I know I’m probably being overdramatic. I just feel like my vacation is being ruined by all the stress of dealing with the people I came with!
