To NOT go on holiday with my DP& DC?

[Shellywelly1973]

AIBU to drop the lazy bastard in it & drop out of 1st family holiday in 3 years?

Dd 10, ds 7 & ds 4, cant stand the thought of it, all together for 2 weeks!

It would teach dp a good lesson as to what I do, except no school/nursery runs, housework, meetings at ds SN school, hospital appointments for both ds...

2 weeks of peace & quiet...WWYD?

How will the DCs feel if you say you're not going?

[WorraLiberty]

WWID?

I'd enjoy a family holiday with my DH and kids

[rubyslippers]

Err no

I think you need to have a sensible discussion with your DP about why you can't stand the thought of all being together for 2 weeks

If he is being lazy and not pulling his weight at home then of course you feel pissed off

[mynewpassion]

Feel sorry for the kids.

[moogalicious]

YABU. I ditch the husband and go on holiday

[AgentZigzag]

Are you feeling a bit undervalued Shell?



Two weeks is a long time, is it all booked up and you can't change it?

Peace and quiet has been prescribed by Dr Zigzag, you're risking your mental health going against my advice

[Shellywelly1973]

Dc would be fine.

Dp would shite himself!

[AgentZigzag]

And I bet you'd be the one cleaning up that shite no doubt eh?

Any chance you could have a weekend off to de-stress (leaving him to do all the unpacking) and then join them? Two weeks is a long time - and in any case, will not get the message across; looking after kids on holiday when you just have to please yourselves is nothing like the daily grind of housework, hospital appointments etc.

[Shellywelly1973]

He would be fine, would be a good chance to deal directly with dc.

I know it wouldn't be the same as what I do but it just entered my head earlier on!

He works shifts & they change daily, he never asks if thats ok.

So thought maybe I could return the favour!

Just the thought of peace for 2 weeks, not screaming kids, washing, cleaning up, cooking etc...

[WorraLiberty]

Why do you think your 3 children would be fine and that not having you there for 2 weeks wouldn't spoil their holiday?

[Shellywelly1973]

Dp is totally capable of looking after dc,he just chooses not too.

All of them have been on holidays without me due to summer holidays/ work stuff.

It was a thought that popped in my head this afternoon, after a very long & busy week...

Next week is even busier, dp isnt off til fri, when we leave & all the organisation will be left to me.

Just a mad minute but rather appealing minute!
