I understand how you feel completely. It's like DH is 2 different people with & without SKs around. I dread their visits too. ~Bookgirl~

Right there with you!!! Life is so pleasant when the skids aren't around....and on the Friday that I know they will be at my house.....I just start to get bitchy and moody. I have tried not to be like this but it's like I can't control it! And then of course I am counting the minutes until they go home....I wish those weekends away so quickly!

****I can do bad all by myself****

Totally understand too! Mine have been gone for about 10 days and it has been wonderful. This is the longest break I have had in about 10 years. They usually are only gone a couple days at a time, and even then only one or twice a month.

They come back today. I am in a horrible mood today. I just keep telling myself that they will soon be gone. (hopefully)

I can TOTALLY relate. My skids were also gone over the last couple of weeks (which is very, very unusual and rare) and I'm getting mentally ready for their drama. Because they ALWAYS have something going on - they demand constant attention, money, time, something. It's always about and for them. We are there to cater to their wants and needs and get NADA in return. They NEVER call my DH when they are away with BM, unless there is something they want him to handle in their absence. Never ever do they call to ask how he was doing. I certainly don't expect that courtesy but give that great dad at least that. Not happening.
