I live with husband, my two children and stepchild. My kids are going to their dad’s over the October half term. I was due to be working. My husband is thinking of taking some time off and going away somewhere for a few days with stepdaughter. I can take time off and go with them.
But I feel bad because I know my children’s dad won’t be taking them anywhere and I felt I had to offer them the chance to come along. My youngest has bad anxiety so didn’t want to come but my eldest was keen. But now husband is saying we can’t afford a trip for 4 of us. And I shouldn’t have mentioned it to my children.
We have already taken my stepdaughter away without my children once this year and I kind of squared it in my mind because we were meeting up with my in-laws who my children don’t know that well.
So now my husband is claiming he really needs a break and that he won’t get one because of me. I’ve suggested either we look for something cheaper for the 4 of us, or he goes away with stepdaughter without me. I’d be quite happy at home on my own for a few days, but my husband is saying that I’ll never hear the end of it if he does that.
so, WWYD?
