I don't think I am being unreasonable, but would appreciate everyone's advice.
I've just booked a holiday for me, DH and our 2 dds.
My DM, who looks after the dds 1-2 days a week while I'm working wants to come with us.
I'm really not keen on the idea, because due tto my and my dhs working patterns, we rarely see each other, and feel that this holiday is a great opportunity for us to reconnect, and spend some time together as a family.
My dm, however, says that as she looks after the dds for free, should be able to come, so that she can enjoy spending more time with them. She thinks that she does all the hard bits with the dds, which I disagree with; she gets to play with them, take them to the park etc, all the fun bits without the normal daily grind.
I should add, so I'm not accused of AIBU by stealth, she came on holiday with us last year, and while it was nice having her there, and she babysat once so me and dh could go out in the evening, we felt obligated to meet up with her each day, and I think dh kinda struggled having his MIL there all the time.
I really appreciate all the help my mum gives us, and tell her that all the time, I wouldn't be able to work without her help, but I just think that a holiday with just the 4 of us would be lovely.
AIBU?
