Nothing Ruins a 3-day Weekend like Skids.
Ugh, I'm already sick of them and it's only Friday. Their very presence irritates me. SS12 seriously is just wandering around aimlessly, invading my patience, SS10 has already started his BS "I'm going to get my way come hell or high water" antics. I don't know which is worse. If SS12 doesn't learn how to entertain himself quickly, I'm just going to flip out. And if SS10 doesn't stop acting like such a spazz, I'm just going to go bananas. I mostly just want to, like, leave for the entire weekend and spend it by myself. Maybe if I just go, and not tell anyone where I'm going, leaving my cell phone and laptop behind so no one can get ahold of me, I won't want to be tearing my hair out by tomorrow night with still half the weekend left to go. Plus I have to see my in-laws on Monday. I'm so glad I have to work in the afternoon that day, it'll give me an excuse to leave early so I won't have to watch everyone coddle and baby the skids. I know it could be worse...I could be re-living the November vacation, which was 4 days and being trapped on the road with all of them, but it still feels bad.

i feel for you. i always
i feel for you. i always hated it in the summer when my shop shut down for 2 weeks. every year without fail, fdh would have to work those 2 weeks while i was off. sd would be here for at least 1 of my vacation weeks. i seriously would rather have been at work than to be stuck with her all day. i just wanted to scream in fdh's face "why is she here if you can't even spend time with her! I DON'T WANT HER!!!!" i hated summers anyway cuz she was ALWAYS here, but it was even worse when it was on my time off. there was no relaxing with that giant fly always buzzing around irritating me!
I feel for you too.
I feel for you too. Mercifully, we are on our own this weekend, but next weekend in the UK is a 4 day weekend as its the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (Yeah, thanks a bunch, Ma'am!) and I told DH he would have to take them away so he is taking them to see his mother and their cousins.
We only have them for a week in the summer as DH is taking them to New York. After a decade I have got past the point where I can cope for more than a weekend.
Thanks, ladies. Ugh, half of
Thanks, ladies. Ugh, half of the problem is that I also hate teenagers with the fire of a thousand suns, and SS12's birthday is only 6 weeks away. I'm not even joking about this, the #1 reason I don't want to have kids of my own (#1 out of approximately 2,357 reasons) is that I hate teenagers. Now we're entering into hell zone. SS12 is a worse drama queen than most GIRLS I know his age...and I get an extra day of it this weekend!
I hear you! The split second
I hear you! The split second BM discovered that DH and I were a couple the kids were dumped on us for every weekend, From Friday after school until late Sunday. Every time there was no school for any reason they came straight from school to us, BM made their older sister drive them to us. I was not going to turn 10 year olds away from the door! I liked their older sister too, lovely girl, and she was just doing what she had to do to satisfy her mother...and shut her the hell up!
My single largest mistake was in being Mrs. nice giveitago! Ohh boy do people ever cash in on that crap...no more though, not where BM is concerned! No more where SKids are concerned iether! Being new to the relationship and not wanting things to go badly I gave more than I should have given, of my own self. I know, I should not have to justify it, nice folks get totally screwed though!
Sometimes, no matter what you do, there are bad seeds and kids will do stuff regardless.
I know the feeling, too. When
I know the feeling, too. When it's our weekend and I see them pulling into the driveway, I feel like going into hiding
And it doesn't help that SS10 BANGS on every window (from the outside) to announce their presence. I mean REALLY??? Lucky for me, they just went back today (YAY!).
