2 and a half hours ago I said to DP, I'll pop to Tescos and get some food in (our new son is only 2 weeks old so we've not been out at all and no food in the house)

The baby is cluster feeding at my boob so he offered to go, because its very cold out and we've had 4 inches of snow.

Theres a tescos 3 mins from us. DP asked his sister to take him as he doesnt drive.

Annoying sister who always wants everything her way has taken him to a Tescos in Hertfordshire. Its 6 miles away. Through countryside which is bound to be treacherous. Shes gone there because they have loads of other clothes shops on the same estate.

Ive not eaten yet today because of feeding/sleeping etc.

AIBU to think why the hell did they go there? Why didnt DP just say no? Why didnt I/he just go to our local one? Why didnt SIL think 'He probably only wants to pop out for 5 mins' and why didnt he say that to her?

I know Im hormonal too, but Im fucking hungry and we dont even have bread (even if I could leave this baby for a minute, hes constantly on me!)

Thanks for listening.

yanbu - he should have gone to the one nearest - and walked instead of driving

YABU

As a non driver he has to go to the supermarket she takes him too. Maybe she thought she could kill 2 birds with 1 stone and pick something up for herself too - seeing as she is driving him in the snow.

What a terrible situation.

Do you not have anything in the cupboard? A tin of soup, etc? Anything in the freezer?

I get that shes doing us a favour, I really do.

Im just pissed off that he couldnt have said no. And that I didnt even know they were going to the one miles away until he text me from the car. Or else Id have just driven to the local one and been back in 10 minutes.

Obviously the weather is a big problem, but take this as a lesson in how you need to plan your life a bit differently now that you've got a child.

You need to keep basics, that won't spoil, in the cupboard - tins of soup, dried pasta, etc.
