Name changed for this as circumstances are outing.
My DSD (10) lives in another country and visits us during her school break. My DH is unable to take 6 weeks off from work to provide childcare (he usually will take off 1 week-10 days) so it falls down to me which in the past has been hard work but we have muddled through. However the last 2 times she has visited she was really hard work and I found myself counting down the days for her to go home.
Due to covid-19 my DH is about to be extremely busy upon his return to work and will be working much longer hours to accommodate this.
It was suggested to DSD before she came last time that she might like to attend a 1 week holiday club to give me a little break however she made it clear she really didn't want to attend so we didn't push it too much.
As soon as she is able to safely travel again she will be coming over for 6 weeks minimum and I'm dreading it. Can anyone give any advice on how best for me to handle this? I know DH can't force her to attend a holiday club but I feel we could push on it a bit more (they may not even be running this summer either)
Not sure its relevant but I have been with my DH for 12 years and he has never lived in the same country as DSD however he worked in the country for 3 months during his training and DSD was conceived during a one night stand on this trip
