Coworker cried about staying late

Okay so the place I work allows half the staff (two of the 7 people have to stay) to leave early the day before a holiday. So about 6 times a year this happens and we keep a list of who stays so we know whose turn it is. So yesterday we got the call to half staff and two people had to stay. One person volunteered right away cause she knew it was her turn. So it came down to who was the second person to stay. It was between me and someone else. I pointed out I have already stayed twice this year and the other person has only stayed once. This person started crying saying it wasn’t fair and that she always stayed when it was Christmas Eve. I looked at the list and yes, she stayed last Christmas but that date fell on Friday, December 22 (not exactly Christmas Eve) but she didn’t stay on Christmas Eve in 2022, 2021, 2020 or 2019. I also pointed out that next week when they do half staff that I have to stay because on that day I have to prepare my work for following work day. (My job duties outline this and everyone knows it). Everyone agreed with me except her.

THEN she said that I should stay because she has kids and I don’t. She also left early the day before AND took off the day after Christmas AND she took 3 days off the week prior.

I’m so mad that she cried and tried to garnish sympathy and force me to stay when it was clearly her turn. She never volunteered during the year and I do. I have no problems staying when it’s my turn but why should I stay more than she does? We get paid the same. End rant.
