I get that parenting teenagers is hard.
I get that it’s nice to switch off and relax on holiday.

But he decided he wanted to take DC on holiday with him and his GF. Despite the fact both of them have mental health issues and frankly are hard work.

Ive literally spent the entire day talking youngest down from panic attacks and anxiety issues. Texts, phone calls, video chats. While he has had a nice lunch and ignored them, a walk (left them in hotel room) and now he’s buggered off for an early night and she’s been crying to come home for two hours.
His room isn’t even on the same floor as theirs ffs.

well he sounds like a useless parent. Is your daughter ok?

Was he aware of how upset they were when he went for lunch? Are the early or late teens? Sounds very stressful for you.
