AIBU to refuse to pay for my SILs rear car seat to be cleaned after I spilled a KFC crushem all over it even though she had expressly said NO FOOD AND DRINK IN HER CAR!
As you can tell this is a reverse AIBU.
On my day off last week I had offered to take DPs niece to a bridesmaid dress fitting ( she stays with us Friday till Monday anyway and is treated like one of ours).
Last minute the night before SIL rings up pleading me to pick her up because she wants to go with her daughter to the fitting. I said fine but she can pay deisel for the hour and a half driving to hers and back out of my way because she will not get a train.
On the way she badgers me to stop at a macdonalds and i say no, thst i dont allow eating and drinking in my car. Aside from its value alone and the fact it is only 2 years old, I am a neat freak and I use it for work and sometimes have important people in my car.
In the end we get there and at the point of paying the deposit on the dress SIL has magically disappeared (oh surprise). I pay it, I don't mind, it's not astronomical.
When we get back to the car we find SIL stuffing her face with KFC and I notice her drink is horizontal and the back of my car is covered in black and cream sludge.
She starts apologising to which I answer " look it's fine, I'll put it into the cleaners and I'll invoice you the cost tommorow".
Well I gave the bill (£60) in a sealed envelope to her dd to give on Monday and mil just rang to say SIL has been getting on at her all week.
I said I would sort it out with SIL tommorow.
Am I really being that unreasonable?
