Ok... if money was no object I'd be fine with having Skids go to Disney with us. They are 'ok' pretty much. I'm the primary bread winner and I make more than twice as much as DH. Most of the time it doesn't bother me one bit. Child Support doesn't take into account my income... if it did then I wouldn't have married him. Anyway... i want to take my son to Disney next year or the year after. He's 3 now so probably a little young. And I have never gone either.

So my DH gets his kids (SD 11, SS 12) EOW, alternating holidays, alternating spring breaks, and 2 non consecutive weeks in the summer. This is one of the weeks. Usually in the past I would take the week off ( I had 4 weeks vacation a year and DH has none ) and I would do things with them. This year I am at a new job and just don't have the vacation available. They spent yesterday at home alone but I figured they would be bored as heck all week so they are spending a few days at my parent's along with my BS3.

Ok, so BF is putting SS8, SD7 to bed last night when they ask him. "Why do you guys make us sleep in the basement?" We have a split entry home. There is a lower level and an upper level. There is no true basement. The lower level is completely finished and has been for 30 years. They have a bedroom, their own bathroom and a huge play room (w/tv, game systems, dvd player to share).

Where do these questions come from.... gotta be from BM....

argh....... very frustrating!

BF works for a start up company. It is him and the owner and that's it. He has no vacation time, no sick time.. once in awhile he can get out an hour early on a Friday and that's about it. His Ex gets 6 weeks of vacation a year.
