I've posted similar before, and I'm probably being selfish and horrible.
DP had a DS(7) who I'll refer to as DSS for easiness although we're not married.
DSS is here for 4 and a half weeks of the summer holidays, which is unusual, it's normally every other week in the summer holidays.
DP works full time so DSS normally stays at his nans (DPs mums) whilst dp is in work. I'm a teacher so am off work during the summer holidays.
I was already feeling guilty, like I should have him more, rather than him being at his nans (which he loves to do btw, he loves his nan to bits!)
We were together all last week (me,dp and DSS). I'm having him one day this week and one day next week so we can spend time together, which I do like to do.
Here's where I sound horribly selfish. DP is working till around 7.30 today, and has asked if I'll have DSS from 5. Of course I said yes, but I think he could tell in my voice that I was abit unsure and now I feel really guilty.
I just felt abit disappointed, because I was just finished off the housework and was looking forward to sitting down and watching some catch up TV that I've been looking forward to for weeks! And now I can't. And that shouldn't bother me but it does.
Now I've written it down it sounds awful. I do like DSS very much, we get on really well together and enjoy spending time together. I was just really looking forward to that time to myself. DP is off work tomorrow so we will all be doing something together then, which will be nice, and than I'll have DSS for one day this week.
I just crave time to myself during the holidays, and feel like I'm not getting it as much.
I'm sorry that I sound so selfish and horrible. I'm not really, I'm just abit upset and probably overreacting.

I don't know if I'm being unreasonable or selfish. This is just hard sometimes.
