Just to make this very clear i adore my DSS i have been his stepmum for over 12 years he is 13.
So DSS has been here all over Christmas which is great his DM picked him up last night to go to a family party as weren't doing anything as DH has been ill for a few days and hasn't been out of bed.
DSS was supposed to be with him DM until Friday morning so because we've been stuck in the house and i am losing my mind me & DH had planned a day out tomorrow which i have VERY much been looking forward to.
DSS calls this afternoon can you pick me up i want to go out and my mum has a hangover and won't give me a lift to your end of town. Yes absolutely fine with me thinking we'll run him back later on. DH came home to tell me DSS is now staying normally this would not bother me in the slightest but DSS was up until stupid o'clock this morning will no doubt not go to be at a reasonable time tonight he won't wake up until lunch time tomorrow and even if he did wake up in the morning he won't want to come for a day out with us if we tried to make him he would just moan all day and it grates and he won't be left alone so that's our plans for the day ruined and tickets I've brought gone to waste.
We have him over 90% of the time we are very close i really do love him a lot but i was very much looking forward to just 1 day out of the house doing something we want to do.
I wouldn't and couldn't refuse him to stay because this is his home but i instantly felt so depressed. I think it is just because i have been cooped up in the house since Christmas eve and i need to get out.
AIBU to feel like this. I obviously wouldn't show my disappoint infront of DSS but just wish DH could see i need a break away from the house after being at his beck and call for days whilst he has been ill 😩
