DP and I live together and his DS lives with us just over half the time. I'd say 60:40.

We're planning a two week holiday to a long haul destination over the summer holidays. DP is expecting me to go halves on all the costs but I don't think that's fair.

He also wants us all to share a hotel room. For two weeks I've said no way.

He thinks I'm BU because we're 'a family'. I just want my own bloody space and to enjoy the holiday I'm already forking out for.

Who is BU?

Sorry I have a DSS. Not a DSD! Blame my big thumbs and my ipad.

p.s. a Booyhoo is a poster with great intelligence, in case you didn't know. You may bump into her at some point

" All things considered..." said it about 5 times, but there you go again, just for you. Let me know if you need further clarity

OP, you also referred to DSS as "her" several times. I understand if you're just changing RL details to avoid being "outed", but it is a little confusing.

That bloody cow really annoys me.

I can vouch that WTF is the real Booyhoo.

We argued once on here, I forget what about, and then realised we live nearby.

He should pay for his DS and himself, with you paying your share. Look into a 2 bed apartment so you have some space in the evenings as a couple without disturbing the DS.

We went for 3 nights only with 5 of us in a double room, 2 of our DC and 1 DHs, it was very uncomfortable all round. We'd get an apartment if we all went again together for everyone's sanity.

I did think to myself when posting that but then posted anyway.

Truce and peace out, I must dash to beavers.

Will review my questionable posts later and decide if I'm prepared to concede on lack of clarity or not

methinks not

Theres afew issues here.

Resentment of the mother getting csa, cb and ctc when shes not entitled to it.

Why has your dp been assessed by csa as owing the mother maintenance if he has his son 60%?

I think you should contribute some of the holiday for his son but maybe not 50%.

I think it wouldnt be enjoyable for dss to stay in your room.
