They've gone on holiday

DSC have gone on holiday today for two whole weeks and I'm so relieved (usually have 50:50 so they've gone over our time too).

Two whole weeks.

Anyone else feel like this? I'm sure DH will mope a little bit but I'm just so glad to not have the additional work / effort hassle for two whole weeks. Their mum is mainly a fucking nightmare so I'm very much including her in that.

It's honestly my favourite part of the summer. 2 weeks where no one is fannying about with ever changing contact, Disney parenting, a moody teen pulling their face at everything. Lovely.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ah would love that so much but cant ever see it happening sadly

Seems fair enough. I expect mum likes having a break from them too when it's dads turn to have them. Children are tough sometimes especially when not your own.

It’s nice to have a break OP.

Both my SC have gone on holiday and it’s lovely to have calm restored to the house (and zero Disney parenting).
