Just because you don't accommodate his every request doesn't make you a less compassionate person. From my limited perspective, you seem like a very devoted mom who has been very reasonable with your h. I believe you are a teacher? If so, yes, your h may be privy to your schedule. However, he doesn't get to dictate what you do. Nope.
If I have learned anything these last 2 years it's that, ultimately we are responsible for our decisions. And that goes for your h as well. Because you want to take a vacation doesn't mean you are being vindictive or punishing your h. Quite the contrary. You are taking care of you so you can be the best Clare you can be. Again, you owe no one an explanation.
I stand by my previous response. Hang in there and go have fun! Life is short:)
