SD decided to not go on vacation with us and I was glad as she hasn't been coming to visit us anyway. DH called her today and she seems angry with him that he actually went on vacation without her. I think she may have actually thought he would stay home if she didn't go. DH enjoyed his vacation with his wife, 3 year old and my two bios. We're talking about a short trip next weekend and not inviting SD. Also we're planning a trip for just the two of us in the near future Smile

Good for both of you!!!!!

I think its important not to let the "other" house hijack your relationship and household. I wish I would have done what you are doing!

We just had a vacation (first one in 5 years) where SS didn't come with us. Just me, DH and DD. No drama, no fighting, and lots of fun. And cheaper!!
Who cares if she sulks....let her. and yes, go on vacation, just the two of you. I had forgotten how fun it was to be around DH when I did that.

Yes,it has been my experience that DH is so much more fun to be with when the skids are not around. What is it about them that changes Dad's personality? Must be the guilty daddy syndrome that make them unable to enjoy life when the poor skids with all their problems are around.
