Really just need a vent. I just feel so worn out by both sets of teens & exes at the moment. Honestly I sometimes think that all dp & I do is run around after both sets of kids while both exes just do what they want. The annual Christmas negotiations with my ex re the kids have kicked off with him wanting to change arrangements again which obviously then impacts on dp & dp's ex who also wants to change arrangements this year - for no reason that seems necessary. My exh is having a bad time at work & as per his track record has started drinking regularly (again) which involves him always wanting to go out/go to gigs etc. & so he starts trying to change or cancel access. I know the kids are teens but it's still a total pain. Meanwhile dp's ex is just being her usual difficult self 🙄 - new drama every week.
All the kids are fine & are just being slightly selfish teens - normally I'm fine to deal with teen stuff but I just feel depleted by their wants at the moment.
I'm rambling and ranting - sorry - maybe it's just the onset of silly season has me fed up or maybe I've just hit my mid 40's mid life crisis 😂.
