English term or phrase: be no day at the beach

While you were off living the high life, I was here for 20 years taking care of grandma. Which was no day at the beach. Maybe it was, though, I don't know. I have never had a day at the beach.

Jakieś zaćmienie mam, nie wiem, czy tłumaczyć dosłownie, czy znajdzie się jakiś polski odpowiednik....
