Partner going away for weekend leaving me with all the kids.

No it's not a crime going away with the lads for a 50th party of course not, I'm just feeling apprehensive as his 2 are 11 and 13 and difficult mine are 11 and 14 and can also be difficult. There was a lot of trouble with his dcs about a year ago, they told their mum they didn't like me, I didn't do their washing on time or cook the right things etc etc. Their mum tried to cause trouble and nearly split us up, so I'm feeling a little vulnerable not sure if that's the wrong word! The thing is though, it's his lack of empathy he says it's a piece of piss looking after 4 kids, I don't feel it is. If anything comes up on a weekend I have the dcs I don't go I may go on a night out but not a whole weekend. He on the other hand says he has to go and that's that. I'm not being selfish I'm not stopping him go but I feel really down about it. I'm wishing the weekend over with 😔

Partners were invited but he choose to go alone so that you could look after his kids? He wants a nanny/housekeeper not a partner, don't put up with it.

No I just said partners weren't invited!

Sorry, I missed the second no. Doesn't change the fact that I think he sees you as a convenience rather than an equal partner.

How was it when he got back?

Over, hopefully.

Unless he's going all the time I think one weekend is fine. Plan something if you're worried to keep them occupied. At their ages it's not like they need constant supervision
