Holiday from hell?

We stayed with my brother in law, wife and two young sons in Oslo where they lived.

With ours, there were 4 boys between 6 and 9. The computer was in our room. They all got up at about 5.30 to play on their computer.

We ended up having a huge row when we complained, apparently ' they had a right to play on their computer when they get up.'

We left that morning having to take a ferry to Sweden and having a holiday driving back through northern Europe. ( children first , very important for the little dears. )

Can’t say I’ve had a holiday from Hell, but getting there might qualify:-

Train caught fire between Durham and York.

Flight to New York returned from mid-Atlantic to Shannon and then the emergency services had broken the door, so delayed again.

Emergency landing at JFK airport.

Accident in taxi in USA.

Holiday Company went bust while in Egypt - return flight plane at wrong airport and we had to rent a car to get home.
Landed at Heathrow to find all flights grounded by bad weather. No help from BA - a relative had to do a 600 mile round trip to get us home.

Not all together of course, but it’s a bit of a joke not to travel with me!

My DS, her husband and 2 yr old came over from America and we rented a house with them. Our DC were older. DS didn’t want to get out of bed before 10.00am, didn’t cook once in two weeks and wanted us to use paper plates and plastic cutlery. She didn’t clean up after her toddler (food on floor etc). She couldn’t understand why our DD wanted some time on their own and she hated all the days out we had. 40 years later DD still shudders at the mention of the movie Annie which DS insisted we went to see because her toddler loved it. Of course said toddler slept right through it.
