I’m not a snob but feel like I should have expected this coming to a park dean caravan park.
I was sold on the idea of glamping and the pod itself is lovely. My eldest loves the entertainment and swimming pools so it’s not all a disaster.
It’s raining a lot. Ds does not engage in settled activities for more than about 5minutes and is not interested in tv.
The. family in the caravan behind us are loud, the children are either shouted at or left to run riot (my eldest ds has ASD so I’m not usually picky about noise or other parents discipline), the mum seems completely inaffective at discipline and the dad seems like a vaguely threatening arsehole who sits outside drinking and playing music into the night after the evenings entertainment. It would be fine if they all slept in the next morning but their children are awake and loud from stupid o,clock and are always sent outside with the mum whilst the dad shouts loud enough for the whole bloody park at her to keep them quiet.
I wish we’d just spent a little more and opted for a cottage far away from anyone now. My dh works away almost constantly and is completely burnt out. This is the only time he’s taken off work all year and I feel like I’ve made a huge mistake doing a ‘family friendly’ holiday. Kids clubs and the like are a no go as ds’s ASD means he needs a familiar face with him at all time so a child centred holiday seemed like the answer.
I know dh will refuse any more time off till Christmas so this is it. The big holiday and we’re all going to come back more stressed and sleep deprived than when we left.
