So, vacation time is approaching, and i am getting more anxious.

This year we had one week of vacation just the two of us. Now we are having another 2 weeks with his son (10).

My problem is that he is already saying that we spent too much money on holidays this year, and that next year we cant do the same.
This means we will only get vacations with his kid. I am not sure i can live through that each year after year.

How do I make him see that I deserve some holiday time without his kid?

Background story is http://www.steptalk.org/node/45990

So, yesterday we came home, and i was in a bad mood. He acted like he has no idea why. So I told him. BM has school on holiday? And you just make plans with her, without consulting me. Nobody asked me about anything!

He responds 'well the kid wasnt here the entire month'

I say 'thats not my fault now is it?'

I have been wondering why is majority of Skids overweight? Mine is not even 10 yet and he is already heavier then BM.

Why are those kids happiest when they eat something? I mean, there isnt a thing in the world which would make him light up like that ... except FOOD! When its food time, hes clapping, smiling, singing, and oh so happy to be served a meal!
While the food is cooking he is in the kitchen asking if its ready every 5 minutes!

We have booked 12 days away for the summer holiday. The kid is with us for 2 weeks. He was just here for the 3 days (the longest so far) and I honestly couldnt wait for him to go.

I do not know how to survive entire 2 weeks with this kid.
I already know hows it gonna be. He is gonna call 'Dad, dad, daaaaaad' for every little shit. He wont be able to spend one minute entertaining himself. He will want everything to be about him. He will not want to go anywhere but stay inside the hotel complex (probably he wont want to go to the beach, only the small pool in front).
