Re: Summer Vacation - need guidance

03/18/12 11:24 AM

To be blunt - I do think you are being unreasonable. DH has had no less than 6 weeks of uninterrupted summer time since his youngest was 7. Prior to that they had been away from their mother for like, never. They were fine, except for when she would call and harangue them about how sad she was and the dogs/cats were sad and how she bought them a new kitten for when they came home etc. Personally I would be excited about my kid getting to travel to Hawaii, hand them a disposable camera and tell them I want lots of pictures.

Its really unfair to ask your ex to change his plans when he made them within the confines of a legal agreement. But if he is willing you could ASK if it doesn't interfere with his plans to change yours. For example weeks 1,3,5 are yours and 2,4,6 are his. He is taking week 3 for his vacation. He is vacationing weeks 3 & 4 - then ask to take your vacation 1 & 2. If he is vacationing weeks 2 & 3, same thing. Take your vacation weeks 4 & 5. If you already have a vacation planned and its too much trouble to change it - then I guess I would say that if the 3 week problem isn't enough for you to change YOUR plans, why should he?

(Keep in mind a "staycation" is still vacation - taking time just to hang out with your kid is just as much a vacation as a trip to Hawaii)

Forgiveness is...letting go of the hope that the past can be changed.
