This is now really getting me down. Me, dh and ds were going to go away with parents and other family members. DF said he didn't want to come as didn't like flying etc and would prefer to go somewhere in this country. Other family members booked their holiday which is fine. My dm still wanted to go with them with us but we thought it would be nicer to go with both parents and suggested centreparcs.

My dad phoned up and chatted about it and my mum has now got really annoyed saying my dad just phoned up and tried to manipulate us into going somewhere he wants to go and he's just going to go drinking every night etc.

she then started saying it would be nice to go with other family members as babies would be together etc. She doesn't want to go to centreparcs.

Now pissed off as feel I am being manipulated by both of them and don't actually know what I want anymore.

I think I need to tell my mum this but I know she will then feel really guilty about that and go on about how guilty she feels. My dad probably drinks a bit more than he should but its a bit difficult to stop people drinking when they are on holiday. Parents aren't getting on well at the moment and I think my dad is difficult to live with but I don't want my mum confiding in me anymore and then not doing anything to help her sitation anyway.

If you have reached the end I salute you!
