SIL lives in a cool city. She can be quite a game player and is often somehow scoring points with the parents against us , all very odd. Anyway her dd has a very long summer. (14) She has suggested, via her mum, not to me, that my dd (17) stays with her in the summer. What an opportunity. I said to his mum, what about ds.? (14) . He is very quiet and it would do him good to have an adventure.
trouble is Dp will likely get cross about them going - in the past he has said she is playing games etc. it’s also wierd that she only asks dd. To stay. We have never visited as a family because 4 airfares are a lot, but also ..I don’t know why. Very wierd.
don’t know what to do. My kids have had a very boring life, I don’t know I’d Dp is squashing us all down, or they should go. I also don’t know if it’s a sincere offer or it’s sil scoring points again. She often suggests things that she backs out of and somehow we get the blame. She does what suits her but makes it sound as if she is so noble - she will have to work while on holiday. She took her daughter to Costa Rica, in a hotel but poor darling was depressed. ..Not too much sympathy! I’m rambling, sorry.
