A Reddit user who says they usually work six or seven days a week finally secured nine days off to rest at home in r/AITAH. Their first morning off reportedly began with their mother demanding they come over and pack the car for a lake house trip. The poster claims nobody had asked them about the trip or even mentioned it. The poster says they told their boss a month in advance and made sure their parents knew, as the plan was to catch up on sleep. According to their Reddit post, they live alone five minutes away and help with physical chores like taking out the trash. The parents reportedly have disability parking stickers but are not fully disabled. The poster says their parents love the lake house, but they apparently dislike it because it has no internet and is a 30-minute drive from anything. When they turned down the trip, their mother reportedly yelled that the family had already paid. Their parents apparently showed up for a welfare check on day three Expecting to cook and run errands all week, the poster says they shouted “no means no, and you should ask me next time” then switched off the phone, describing the event as “pure bliss.” On day three of the break, however, their parents reportedly drove over for a welfare check, as every call had been going straight to voicemail. AITAH for "ruining my parents weekend getaway" byu/kyle1234513 inAITAH The poster claims their mom apologized at the door while their dad stayed in the car and waved. The lake house trip never happened. According to the poster, their parents canceled it and received a partial refund. Since the blowup, the poster says they have stopped visiting every day after work and no longer haul laundry up and down the stairs or change vacuum bags. The family now mostly pretends the incident never happened, and the poster describes the new boundaries as a relief. Many adults juggle similar help for relatives alongside work. In the US, a 2025 report from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving found 63 million Americans, about one in four adults, are family caregivers. Six in 10 of them also hold jobs, and half of those workers report disruptions like leaving early. Unpaid household labor has fueled other viral Reddit disputes, including a dad’s 30-minute dishes rule and a new baby meal spreadsheet. In this case, however, the poster’s complaint about the lake house trip centers on never being asked. They also claim people online seemed to agree that booking a lake house trip for someone else without asking was wild. Commenters supported the poster. Some said, “NTA its seems your mom realized she was though.” Another said, “Nta, they just assumed and it didn’t end up how they wanted, atleast things have chilled out and you don’t go and do as much of the silly little tedious things now.”
