upcoming vacation
DH and I don't get to take that many vacations. Being tight on money right now coupled with our work having us on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it's very difficult to get away. When we do plan something, we do it very far in advance then have to plan accordingly and keep our fingers crossed and prey that we don't have to drive back home for a work emergency. (which has happened before). So we usually end up going on 2 or 3 little weekend trips a year, trying to find places a few hours or less from home.
Our 3rd and last weekend trip for this year is coming up in a couple weeks. DH decided to take me away for a weekend trip for my birthday.
Now there is going to be a skid weekend before we leave. I know that MIL will ask me what i'm doing for my birthday and i know that i will be expected to lie and not say where we are going because "it will upset sd". But why? Why can't we just go away for my bday and have a nice time the two of us without having to not say anything about it? I mean as a married couple we are allowed to get away and have a nice time too right?
Ugh...frustrating....

Why lie about that? We used
:jawdrop:
Why lie about that? We used to send my kids to my moms for the weekend when my ex and I did the same thing you guys are doing.
It would be pretty hard to hide that. Would your skid really be upset? If so, your DH needs to nip that in the bud right now. I can see it 10-15 years and you still lie to the kid/adult about YOU taking a vacation.
I could se my DH doing the same thing though. But I am a stickler about lying. I would not lie about that.
WOW we are doing the same
WOW we are doing the same thing. My bday is this weekend and dh and my mil made plans for her to keep all the kids so we can have a great time as my bday always lands on a weekend we have the skids. it was a surprise from dh and mil and mil wants to have a small party for me when we pick them up on sun. We will not be lieing about it to any of the kids nor will we lie to bm if she asks but dh will tell her it is none of her business. Plus dh would be telling his kids that on their bdays they will get special things and it is my turn.

I personally don't see why we would have to not say anything about it. BUT MIL is stuck up SD's and BM's a$$ and she thinks that anything that doesn't involve the princess is unfair to discuss infront of her. Lovely right? This kid is one of those people who on other's birthdays SHE gets a present too so she doesn't "feel left out" *gag*
I know it's not right and I know it's rediculous. I'm getting irritated that not only are we going away on a much deserved getaway, but it's my b.day. Come on, if that kid can't handle it not always being about her I don't care, but God forbid i say something about it then she will whine about how she can't come and she "never gets to do anything fun" which is a bunch of bull...
