AITA for wanting to go on a cheap holiday whilst living with parents
Hi all, looking for advice on my situation. I 23F live with my parents. I graduated uni and work full time and overtime plus weekends and bank holidays when I can get shifts, earning 30k. My goal is to buy a house in the next few years. I am single and my parents want me to also buy a house. They both work full time too. I save as much as I can: I don’t eat out/order food, rarely spend money on clothes, travel solely by public transport and the only subscription I have is Spotify. My work can be heavy physically and mentally in a hospital treating a variety of patients. I live rent free however contribute to petrol, groceries, clean daily, cook when my mum doesn’t, help with miscellaneous tasks too!
Here’s the problem I want to book a short cheap holiday for myself to avoid burnout however every time I mention it my parents moan about bills and cost of living and how I sleep early and leave early. I physically am too tired to do more around the house and they want me to get a house as soon as possible but at the same time complain that I could pay more bills and help out more. My parents call me lazy and selfish and get upset at the mention of me wanting a holiday, although they all went away this year too. I’ve offered to pay some more bills but they don’t accept that as an answer and even if I did they still expect more. I’m stuck and feel trapped, I want to move out asap however rent is money down the drain and currently I wouldn’t be able to afford mortgage payments on a house either.
What do I do? I attempted to explain to them how expensive it all is and that I understand cost of living is also expensive for them but I’m just so tired and drained to do more. What should I do next? AITA for wanting a holiday, I feel horrible about this situation I desperately need a break but I’m made to feel so bad about it all. Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT: to clarify by holiday I mean just a long weekend away to be able to keep my head clear and above water, I work in a place where I see patients dying and deteriorating daily. I’ve just got a promotion and am saving to move out to rent or get a place but need to be able to afford monthly rent payments and groceries to actually live and survive. I do as much as I can around the house and even offered to pay rent to help out but they refuse but also frown at me for wanting to move out and rent. So people saying just move out is difficult to do as I don’t want to break the relationship with my parents and I care about them deeply and help them with all other tasks too. I’m just stuck in the middle of
