So today, i found out my nephew was supposely coming to stay for six hours at our house, while his parents are out for the day. I love my nephew, but six hours is wayy to much time to spend with one person, especially a six year old child.

I try explaining this to my mum, but instead of being understanding and sayings it's fine if i spent just a couple of hours or so with him, she goes on this big tangent about how i'm selfish, and "so what if you need to spend time with him." than me trying to explain that i don't mind spending a couple or so hours with him. But no, less cue to the waterworks about giving her stress and than not even listening to what i'm trying to tell her!

it's bullshit. Why are we seen as the bad guys for wanting time alone? I wish i'd kept my mouth shut, but thought she would be understanding, huge mistake.

Now, i'm sat here with a headache and self hatred, wishing i wasn't part of an accursed extroverted family. I can't help that i need my alone time to recharge! there hasn't been a weekend ages where i've had quality time alone to myself, because there is always family coming over, and by the time they leave i'm too exhausted to do anything.

​

i hate being an introvert in an extroverted household.
