Day Seven

Trip is still ok, DH sis giving alone time now and then. OSD very critical of DH who just says nothing ... It's so wierd to watch. Yesterday both SDs freaked out we didn't know which train we were going to catch, even after explaining open ended tix and vacation...no worry. DH was p*ssed. We had to block them in the restaurant booth otherwise they would have taken off to the station themselves. On the other hand that would have been better....lol.

I mentioned as we were finally on our way that he should not have said Anything at all about 'schedule' because both SDs fixate on anything like that...then tried to blame me for not giving him a heads up. Flat out told him I cannot do that as it never turns out well for me OR he ignores it. Nope, not discussing it any further, no way.

Anyway, neither SD has brushed teeth (YSD actually did first night we arrived 6 days ago)...and both hve bathed once. YSD is looking very greasy. As we are getting together with ALL family tonight, it's goid to be clean, right? I mentioned it to DH who said to YSD, "Do you think you might maybe shower? Sometime today? Maybe you can do it? Later? Sometime?" Puke. I was disgusted again...and he wonders why I don't suggest? 

While I am having a nice time, it's still stresfull. DH asked me last night if we were ever going to 'have fun' together in England...well DH not until our night alone at the inn, after all it was your idea to bring girls (thus exhausted)...

And I was right about the food issues...OSD is eating almost nothing but croissants, she has had some fish but not much, lots of sweets. YSD has become very picky overnight, not eating any breakfast. I know she's hungry, I can see it in her face but she's refusing to eat things she normally does with no thought. DH is noticing but not my problem.

Next time DH decides the girls are coming on holiday, I think you should book your own & let him take them himself. I would never, ever, ever agree to another trip like this considering how ungrateful & miserable they are. What a waste of money. Hang in there Cover!

" DH asked me last night if we were ever going to 'have fun' together in England"

"I dunno, DH. What have you planned on for us to have fun?"

or

"I'm shocked, DH. I thought the point of having your daughters with us was to have fun."

or

"Define 'fun', DH".

"We were going to have fun but then the skids came along."

too mean, but it's fun to think about saying it

And when you get home, DH will go on and on and on, about what an amazing bonding trip this was for all of you and tell people how you all got on so well and how the girls had such an amazing time.

Even after the skids go radio-silent and he's begging for contact.

OMG DH sis is going to go off on OSD tomorrow when we are gone on our adult night. 1) she's rude 2) entitled 3) liltle b#icth 4) hasn't said thsnk you to Grandpa for pocket money (either SD really) 5) why did he bring them 6) OSD thinks DH sis her friend but nope! 

OSD was pretty bad at family dinner tonight and I am done done done right now being even nice. She made it publicly personal - so that's it. Got it. No respect at all, none given.
