Easter Holiday Hell

Sad

Beginning of the Easter Holidays. 'School Holiday's - anyone else absolutely dread those horrendous two words? Two words which mean you are going to be stuck with the SKIDS for more then just a couple of stress filled days then back they go to BM quick smart with a "See ya" as you wave them a relieved cheerio and break out the celebratory Prosecco.

The problem I have (amongst many)is that BM is an unorganized beeeatch, so we have the SKIDs randomly dropping by for a week here, a day there. I can't plan ahead and our life is essential on hold until they are corralled back into school where they belong. (Until the hell on toast that is the weekend comes round again....)

Then you have the "Why don't YOU take them on foreign/fancy holidays like I do?" crap rolled out by the Mother once in a while. Well we can't afford it unlike you and your family, and no I won't do any extra shifts to pay for anything that didn't come out of my vagina to go anywhere.

Ahh holidays, don't ya just love them. x

Holidays with the skids suck. BioHo raised them to appreciate the almighty $$$, knowing that DH was barely squeaking by due to $$$$ CS.

'Ho had the audacity to suggest we take PigPen14 on vacation with us. To my family's summer place. How about HellToTheNo?

Has anyone ever wondered why a child of divorce are given to their ncp ONLY during times when school is NOT in session?

Yep. A full week of skid coming up on Monday. Lucky me.

Feels like I never get a break...

Why would you be stuck with the kids, if it's not your time, simply tell BM, sorry I've got plans and leave... do not take the skids... if DH is there he can stay at home with them, it's not your responsibility...

I just make my plans and I go with it, I don't care if SO joins or babysit Aergia, I will not put my life on hold for any one, I never even did for my own kid, why would I do it for non blood related people?
