This year for the fourth year running we are going on holiday with the in-laws. They are paying as they always do. This joint holiday phenomenon has materialised since we had my dd age 3. Of course I should be grateful that we are getting a free holiday that we otherwise wouldn't have as I'm a sahm.
But I'm not. I hate them. Dh loves them. We don't get any time on our own, they always dictate what we do and interfere with the way we bring up dd. They want to do things that are frankly boring for a toddler. Last year dd was crying each afternoon and they thought she was being difficult but she was exhausted because they wouldn't let her have a nap during the day because it interfered with their plans.
I always end up arguing with dh because I'm trying to look after my daughter's interests and by the end of the week I'm ready to throttle them! I just wish we could have a break on our own!
Does anyone else have this problem?
