Feeling guilty for comments

Stressful few days, DH fell ill just before holiday. Trying to balance work, looking after ds13 and dd10. They are good kids. Also in peri. Driving down to holiday cottage, kids are bickering, husband in pain, I feel overwhelmed. I shout I'm fed up with all of them and wish I could go in holiday on my own and that I'm not looking forward to the break.

They keep reminding me of the comments and I feel so bad, like they'll always remember them, rather than the holiday.

I guess I'm just after some reassurance that I'm not the only one!

Oh you're not the only one, family holidays are always stressful especially with a long car journey.
Just tell them you're sorry you said that, they need to accept you're allowed to be stressed and upset by their actions and they need to take some responsibility for a holiday that's enjoyable for everyone.

Then tell them to move on every time they bring it up. If they don't stop, ignore, turn, walk away.
