My daughter-in-law chirped, “My whole family is spending Christmas here—it’s only 25 people,” so I smiled and said, “Perfect. I’m going on vacation. You cook and clean. I’m not a servant,” and the way her face went pale told me she finally realized I could say no.

For 30 years, my parents told me, “Your sister is the successful one. You’re just… you.” They paid for her house, her car. Now they’re 78, they need full-time care, and they called me because “family helps family.”
