Sd and vacations
I hate vacationing with SD. I try to get dh to agree top vacation without sd. I explain that sd goes on vacations with BM, she gets vacations, its ok if once we go on a vacation without her. It really will be ok!
The reason i hate it is that
#1 she's a know it all. "Oh we went here, and this is what it's like and we can skip it, cuz I've already been there done that"
#2 she's bossy. "Let's skip that, I've already done it, it's boring, trust me.", let's have lunch there, i did it when i was with my mom, it was the best. When she finds out we're going somewhere else, "i thought we we're going there, i said it was the best"
#3 she complains about everything: too hot, too cold, bored, food sucks, there were bugs outside, the grass prickled her, someone touched her (dd was excited and put her hand on sd's shoulder when she told her she saw a cute boy, sd touches and leans on EVERYONE)
So, i decided i wasn't to go camping in the fall (not too hot, not too cold. Sd is already complaining. "You know i hate bugs! Tall are going to be miserable with my constant whining about the bugs!" I'm hoping dh will agree to plan it when sd won't be with us.
I totally get not wanting SD
I totally get not wanting SD to go!
It seems like most of her issues with your vacations is because she has done it before. What about something that she hasn't. A whole new experience that She can't have opinions becasue she hasn't done it yet!
For example... if camping is your thing... what about a houseboat rental on a lake? Still out doorsy but totally a different spin. Plus they are great because you can cook on the boat which saves a ton. They are like a floating camper.
I've never thought about a
I've never thought about a houseboat rental. She has been to disney, but i wanted to take my kids who've never been. And i am also wanting to take my kids to Universal studios in the next year or 2, but she's been there as well. She's been everywhere that i want my kids to go eventually.
Last year we went out to a cabin and stayed the weekend. She had never done that, and seemed to enjoy it, but then she got so bored, but she also didn't want to catch fireflies, or explore the land around the cabin either.
I mean with camping and
I mean with camping and cabins hiking, fireflies, bon fires... that is kind of the point.
Also see if they have tree house rentals around you. There are a few places here that do those instead of standard cabins. They make it more fun for sure! The ones here are on a "resort" so there is a pool and other activities going on to help pass the time.
Time share communities are also great for rentals. You don't have to be an "owner" and you can find some for really good deals for people who just want to get out of paying for thier dues that month. They usually have tons of stuff on the property to keep famlies busy.
Ignore her. Tell DH that she
Ignore her. Tell DH that she complains too much. Don’t cater to her.
If she
Doesnt like camping. Why take her ? Don’t let SD dictates where you are going any paying for ! Vacations are just not for her to dictate where, when, and where to eat. Leave her with her BM and go by yourselfs
Ugh, sounds just like my SD..
