Goody, vacation from hell coming up

We have vacation starting on Sunday and I am already dreading it. FDH, me, my 2 dd'S and SD leave for California for a week.

We had her last night and she was her usual sullen self. She did thank me for signing her up for gymnastics and said good night. Major progress there I guess. This morning I had the nerve to remind her to go brush her hair and she snapped and me and gave me a shitty look.

Umm, no, I don't think so. FDH told her to knock off the attitude but all I can think is that I am going to be stuck in a hotel room with her for a week. I talked breifly with FDH about my concerns and he assured me that it would be great. I think my attitude is so crappy that unless she is above and beyond amazing it is not going to help.

I am also a littl resentful that I am burning vacation time to go on a trip I dont want to go on. I wanted to go to Mexico and lay on the beach for a week. Nope, I am headed to the stupid redwood forest.

Good luck on your "vacation" (read: week in purgatory). I would sooner cut off my toes with a rusty hacksaw than go on hols with my SDs. Wink I always stay home and DH takes them.

Our recent vacation was a HUGE eye opener for me. It made me realize that there is NO WAY IN HELL that I will EVER allow his daughter to move in with us. She is going to be 12 and she consistently hints at moving in. After that experience ANd seeing her for who she really is? The vacation was a blessing in disguise.

Let me try to answer all these questions:

SD is 8, my DD's are 8 & 13.
This is our first time to do this. FDH is BIG on vacations and there are several small weekenders throughout the year for just the 2 of us and then he always does a trip in the summer and another at Spring Break with his child. I am the same way, this is just our first year to play happy family during the summer.

If it goes like I think it will this will be my last one. I will bow out in the future and just take my kids places.

FDH and I had a huge fight about this trip today. I told him I wasnt looking forward to it and would like him to get an adjoining room for her and I so the kids could be in one room and the adults in another. He thinks that is just avoiding the problems and giving in to the bad behavior.

Oh really, how about this is my vacation too and I am going to be fucking miserable. I am one cross word from backing out completely.
