Hi all
Just hoping to get some opinions on this and see what happens in other peoples situations.
My DH has to go away with for work for 5/6 weeks over the summer. His DD (nearly 14) comes to us one day a week (doesn't stay over) and that's all fine and dandy. The thing I was wondering about is whether I should still be expected to have her the days that her dad is away. I really don't have a problem with her coming round as normal but on the other hand would perhaps like for me to use the weekends when my DH isn't here to either do some really practical stuff round the house, catch up with friends or even just have duvet days!
I also do not want my DH ex to think that I do not want to spend time with my DSD just because my DH is not there-I suppose I'm just being very selfish and, as I say, looking forward to some me time.
Sorry if that's a bit long, the question I'm really asking is do you still get your step kids if your DH/DP isn't going to be there?
