This may out me but I am not sure I care.

Booked a caravan holiday in Feb for 8 of us 6 kids 2 adults.

OH got sent away unexpectedly with work so can't come.

DSS decided to cancel his leave and visit us when his dad is back.

DS1 was refused the time off (peak season).

DS2 dad told him he's booked a holiday the same week (without checking Angry)so DS2 doing half the holiday with me half with his dad.

DSD's mum was happy for them both to come but we have fallen out and she's now saying "they don't want to come" (on their only holiday in 6 yrs?!).

DD (16) has just said her holiday job have refused to give her the time off. She is refusing to allow me to speak to the manager. I am not happy to leave her and DS1 here alone (he has form).

My friend is planning to come but has a new job so now unsure if she can (for whole week).

Do I just cancel and accept the loss and never book a family holiday again or go and possibly be miserable/alone most of week.

Thankyou for making me feel a bit better.

DS2 has Aspergers but we have decided we are going to search for Pokemons together Grin

Cutecat Leave is never, ever, set in stone, and things change rapidly. Dh called me one night, I commented it was noisy, was there a Mess Dinner on? The reply was that he was at Heathrow, about to get on a plane, and wasn't sure when he'd be home. No mention of a potential trip that morning, so something had kicked off that afternoon, and off he went. It screws up your planning no end.

I know - he was on a 2 year shore draft it was as set in stone as we have had in all our time together - was our first "solid time".

It ended 6 months before it was supposed to due to unforeseen issue.

Brings it home they own their arse Sad
