STBXH having DC for two (separate) weeks over summer holidays. First week I'm working. Second I've been invited (all expenses paid) to south of France, all inclusive budget no frills hotel, by a mate. Awesome.
Asked mother to be "emergency contact" for DC if anything happens whilst I'm abroad. She tells me that leaving the country on only the second full week STBXH is having the children since we split last Sept is irresponsible and that I should be holidaying in the UK. Thing is, we checked out the UK and unless we camp (and cook and clean which is what we do every day), we are going to spend far more money.
AIBU to think my mother is being way out of line here? I'm late thirties and currently I feel like a bloody teenager.
Would it be unreasonable to flee the country for a week abroad whilst the kids are with their dad?!
