We're all on holiday at the moment. Me and my DC, BF and his DS.

On the plane, I took a selfie of myself and DC as we were stood in the aisle but couldn't fit BF and DSS in because they were stood at their seats and the ceiling was low. BF got upset saying I'd taken a 'family' photo and refused to get in any more.

It was then forgotten about until tonight. He told me he wanted to spend some time with DSS in his room so I sat with my DC and played cards at the table. After a while he came back in and I could tell he was cross with me as he again mentioned something about 'family' time.

He's now not talking to me. I tried to point out that he was spending 'family' time too but I'm still the bad guy.

Did I do anything wrong? Am I never meant to take photos of just my bio kids or spend time just with them? Don't know what to do now as I don't want the holiday to be ruined.

I think he's being ridiculous. Of course you're allowed time with your own children, and you're also allowed little "selfie" moments with them too like you did on the plane. I'm sure you'll have photos of you all together as a family as well. He needs to get a grip.

I would take some photos just of you and your DC and some of you all together that you can throw away when you split up over his ridiculous behaviour

What did he expect you to do while he was spending time with his own DS in his room? Ignore your own kids because you'd be having "family time" without him, when he wanted to separate himself and his DS from you in the first place? Confused

Is he this much of a gobshite generally?

He sounds like hard work, aren't holidays supposed to be fun and relaxing?

You did nothing wrong. He was the one who insisted on time alone with his own child, so why is he pissed off?

Sometimes people are off when it's the tip of an iceberg, feelings festering for a while. It's worth trying to get him to open up.

Sometimes it's just being moody and annoying!
