SS will be here in a bit and we will begin the wonderful 3 day holiday of family fun. GAG! I am trying to be creative with coming up with ideas to stay away from ss. I think i may be screwed tonight as dh wants us to have a fire in the backyard, roast marshmallows etc-which my kids like and I enjoy so I am probably just going to drink tonight. We are likely going to the local amusement park one day and that might be fairly easy as he likes to run off with bs and hang out-however I hate pawning him off on my bio son. But if I dont he'll be stuck up between dh and I. I dont feel like hiding in the bedroom. I need some ideas. What else do you ladies do to avoid your skid. We were thinking of the drive in but I cant stand the idea of being that close around him for hours with no clear escape route. It is amazing how everything is different on his w/e's. We had talked about camping but there is no way in hell I will ever go camping with that child again. Last year when we took him he screamed for hours. Please help give me ideas.

I've been known to wander the mall for a couple of hours. Other thana pretzel I don't spen $ there, I just wander. Also, long hot baths...with a stiff drink and my laptop for movies is a good way to kill a couple of hours away from skid. I have even parked at the commuter lot and read for a while just to get away and not have to hear that whiney voice. It makes my skin crawl.

I'm one of the lucky ones here. We have skid EOWE and I work 3rd shift during her visits so work at night and sleep through the day. By the time I wake up Sunday she's gone Smile

Can you have a "headache" lol of course because of the "headache" while they go out you'll have to stay home, nice hot bubble bath, curl up with a good book in bed, glass of wine, smelly good candles burning, and no kids. Smile
