DS2 is going to America to visit family next Wednesday. This is his third year going and traditionally we spend the weekend before doing something nice together of his choice. I should mention he is at uni far from home most of the year.
DD is never interested in joining in with this as a rule. She would rather do things with her friends which is fair enough. The two of them get on but there’s 7 years between them so they aren’t really interested in the same thing.
DD was meant to be visiting DS1 next weekend with DH. However she has now decided that she doesn’t want to do that as it’s boring. DH also grounded her on Sunday for some really awful behaviour and now he’s public enemy number one.
DD wants to stay with us and come along with me and DS2. However she is in the throngs of teenagedom and I know she will moan about all our activities. Am I selfish for wanting my precious time alone with DS2?
