I've fallen off the wagon big style again. Be prepared I am going to have a whinge. It's my husband's 50th on Monday., I text my stepson last week to remind him, I then phoned him yesterday to make sure he has sent a card and he said I'm gonna do it today.

Whoops sent send by accident
Anyway that was lunchtime on Saturday, even if he sent it by courier pigeon it wouldn't arrive by Monday. Now my husband tells me, without any consultation, that his stepson is hijacking our holiday in the Lake District, for the whole week! We are already going to Las Vegas for our other holiday to see his daughter and her family. I love my stepson dearly, but he is a typical 20 year old, and we are going to a remote cottage. My husbands ex army friends are already coming for the first weekend and I thought that my stepson was only coming for a couple of days and that with other people there it would be more entertaining for him with them swapping stories etc about their army days. A whole week with a cooped up 20 year old is going to be boring for all of us, him cause he likes to drink and party all the time and me because I will feel like the spare peg and my husband is not going to want to do anything but doss all day with him. I feel like not going and leaving them all to it.
I am so angry, because he has agreed this without even talking to me and I paid for the holiday. I gonna tell him that I'm going to invite my sister for the week, who he can't stand, so that I have some company. I really don't feel like going now, and this is being made worse as I feel mean complaining about my stepson who I haven't seen for ages. If it had been for three days then I would have loved it as we could have explored the area in the later part of the week when he had gone. Now they won't want to do any of that, previous experience of them being together is that they watch tv and play video games all day every day.
So I have fallen off big style which hasn't improved my mood, I have pmt and I am ready to have an argument, something I want to avoid as his birthday is tomorrow. I feel like crying. He just doesn't see how what he has done is selfish and I feel selfish for wanting something different. I do love my step children, but I want holidays without them. We gave up going to Australia this year to see my family, to visit his daughter for the second year in a row. I did this willingly as the first time he had seen her since she was a baby was last year, she had only recently moved to America from the Philippines. I know I married a man who already had children and I walked into this with my eyes open, but I'm still upset by this.
Anyway I am going back I plan Tuesday for 4 weeks till our holiday then when we get back its a massive attack till I go away in September when I want to be a size 12.
I could always say to my stepson, take my place to Las Vegas and go on my own to Australia.
