XH has just dropped it in that he won’t be having dc1 any of next month as he’s going away travelling and to a stag do (normally has him every weekend). No warning just announcing. He also goes back to his home country for 2 months every year and many other holidays.
I know I’m being U as there is fuck all I can do about it but it just irritates me so much. I am a lone parent to my other dc so don’t have a social life anyways. I don’t know why it’s grated me so much as I’m sure my dc and I will have a great time anyways.
I think I’m definitley jealous though which is my problem. Late twenties but I haven’t been on a night out in 7 years. No money for holidays or babysitters. Meanwhile off he flocks when he pleases. He has hobbies and attends the gym regularly. Things I can’t do.
I wouldn’t have minded if he had requested but it’s just the fact he announces he’s off. Over the holidays, he has had dc1 quite often but it’s always on his terms and he barely gives any notice. Dc1 loves going to his dads so I haven’t stopped it. However I’m thinking now that a CAO may be in order. Not sure it will be much good though as he won’t be made to stick to it.
Apologies for the rant!
