So, I (M20) am a pretty uncomplicated person. I like my space, peace and quiet, and doing what I enjoy—mostly by myself. My biggest "flaw" is not liking kids at all. Not that I hate them; it’s not that. I just don’t like them because they’re loud, messy, disorganized, and disobedient—most of them, of course.

What really pushed me to make this post is the fact that my mom, without asking, brought my nephews over to stay the ENTIRE vacation here at our house. I’m not unemployed; I work from 9 AM to 7 PM, so I help out at home. I also have two younger brothers who are entering their teenage years, meaning they mostly keep to themselves. And my mom? She works all day too and, unlike me, doesn’t come home during her breaks, so the kids are basically not going to see her.

What happened is that I complained about her never asking our opinion on anything and mentioned that the kids are unbearably loud (the second they arrived, they were already screaming and playing with their iPads at full volume) and messy. When I said that, she told me I’m very ungrateful because my sister (their mom) is the best sister I could ever have and does everything for me—which isn’t a lie—but still, I don’t think I should have to put up with kids yelling in my ear during the few hours I’m at home, where I should have peace and quiet. She also pointed out how she wishes I were like the guys she sees on the internet who adore their nephews and cousins, and how she loved taking care of hers even while raising kids of her own. After that, I stayed quiet, and she changed the subject.

In general, I also don’t like other people’s kids and have no desire to have kids of my own. At most, I might adopt an older child in a distant future.

So, AITAH for this?

I’m open to tips and advice about the situation.
