Get It Off Your Chest - “I’m the Mum of Every Girls’ Holiday!” Listener Says She’s Done Babysitting Her Friends

On today’s Get It Off Your Chest, one listener says she’s officially retiring as the “mum” of her friendship group after a disastrous city break. Siobhan found herself organising everything—from flights, transport and restaurant bookings to making sure everyone had the essentials—while her friends arrived completely unprepared, borrowing her toiletries because they assumed she’d pack them. To make matters worse, they complained about the food, moaned about the prices, packed impractical shoes, took forever to get ready and seemed more interested in getting attention from lads than actually enjoying the trip. Now Siobhan is wondering whether she needs to stop doing everything for everyone or refuse to go away with them altogether. The gang debate holiday etiquette, friendship dynamics and why every group seems to have one person who ends up carrying everyone else.
