Anybody ready for the summer to be over and skids to go home and back to school?

I am counting the weeks and soon will be counting the days. DH gets so depressed when ss16 goes home and I feel so relieved. Nobody gets what it's like to have a resentful stepson in your house, how after weeks of the tension it just wears you down.

How do you deal with skid/skids going home so that you can be supportive of DH feeling sad but also true to yourself and enjoying your new found peace, quiet and sanity?

It can't be over soon enough!! We went on 'vacation' for 3 days last week, and when we finally got home, DH was like, 'I feel like I don't do enough with them, but when I do spend time with them I want to strangle them!' LOL!
I am SO thankful for my job!

Oh am I ever glad SO doesn't get skids all summer long. He's going to have them for one week at the end of August and Im dreading THAT.. its probably going to be the only week that I'll be all too happy to go to work, then after work..make myself scarce. I can't stand coming home to kids after a long day of work.

SDs go home on Tuesday. The summer has been great. We went to disney world for a week and they have been going to camp for the last 3 weeks. They go back to EOWE visits after Labor Day.

I would be bonkers if they had been home with me all day.
