Advice wanted please. Just back from holiday with DP and the step kids who are all in their teens. I can honestly say that I never want to go away with them again. We have an uphill battle at home to get them to help out but they either didn't or half helped out or moaned. They complained if we wanted to eat out somewhere they didn't like and weren't interested in doing anything very much. Their mother never takes them away and so they only go away with us and I know it means a lot to my DP but I'm just fed up with how spoilt and lazy they are and this year I really begrudged both the money we spent on them and the fact that I feel I wasted a week on my annual holiday not having the greatest of time and can't help thinking we would have had a much better time without them. Has anyone come up with a way of dealing with this?
