This was something that one childfree woman struggled to explain to her sister, who is the mom of three toddlers with her husband. She traveled to visit them recently.
While she was happy to spend some time with her nephews, she occasionally became overwhelmed by their behavior and had to excuse herself from the room when things became too much.
Her sister took this as an opportunity to accuse her of not loving the kids like she and her husband did, something that the woman felt was not unreasonable. However, she also wanted to know if she had backup.

Outsiders felt her perspective was reasonable, and that her sister was expecting something unrealistic.
