NC for this
we’re on a trip or a lifetime. Meant to be the happiest place in the world but DN is ruining it for everyone.
meltdown after meltdown. Mainly about what to wear, what to eat, doesn’t want to wear suncream, cries and screams for an hour, finally agrees to put suncream on and then immediately run into the pool, gets burnt badly on shoulders, then screams and shouts about how awful the sunburn is.
constantly moans that cousins/siblings are getting more (they aren’t)
now we have an event that only DN can do due to age, but it requires them to wear a wetsuit, which they’re now wailing about, as if the rules will suddenly be changed due to their behaviour
I’m finding myself getting more and more frustrated, and fear I’ll just explode in a fit of anger and end up saying something I might later regret (not regret but for the sake of family harmony I should just keep my mouth shut)
DN has been a nightmare for years so to a certain extent I knew it would be potentially an issue but it’s just way worse than I anticipated.
any tips for keeping sane 😂😂
AIBU?

Do you have kids of your own? You should know then that the problem isn't actually DN. It's how he's been parented.

You may well find the issue isn't down to how he is being 'parented' sounds very much like my ND son and believe me I try everything
