Him: One more week of school then I’m on holidays for a month.
Me: [In hopeful tone] But we’re still doing fortnight on/fortnight off aren’t we?
Him: Not a chance Mum! At Dad’s I have to live on cereal all day; being here is like staying at some kind of foodie resort… I ain’t going anywhere…

Thanks! I just read it to him, & he confirmed (with a manic laugh) that he is planning to be here for months… as long as I keep stocking the fridge…

Wait – by “holiday” for a month does he mean “study period” for his final exams? If that’s the case, he MUST be fed accordingly.

LOL!!! Sounds like my son. Oh, I’m not going to Dad’s, I like it here better. We are the lucky ones!

Yes we are… except for all the extra washing up/cooking/cleaning! I tell my son: ‘when you’re here, I spend 3 times as much on food…’
He just grins (in that special way that glows my heart ❤️)

Yuck re: a cereal diet! You’ve snared him with good food. 😉
My son prefers his dad’s house because he has his own bedroom and Xbox One there.

They’re fickle our children: years ago my son used to prefer his Dad’s place because ‘he lets me watch tv & eat pizza & cookies…’ 🙄

Well, hopefully my son will change his mind about my place someday. *sigh*

Hahaha so true! I dread it when my son has 2 or 3 friends over… I just start hiding food in my room so I don’t have to fight for it!
Thanks for reading & commenting: it’s good to know I’m not alone 😃
