Months ago we all talked about taking the same week off in the holidays and doing some days out all together with the DC, we have three and they have one. So, things like swimming, trip up to London on the train, Legoland etc.
It's now emerging that SIl isn't planning on actually coming on any of the trips, she is a SAHM and plans to use the time as childfree time while we go out with all the kids.
This really changes the dynamic that I had in my head of Dh and his brother, all the children together and then me and her.
She said that Legoland etc will be boring because she doens't do rides , well, nor do I really but the whole point is watching the DC on them, surely? She won't come swimming because she hates it and has never taken her DS, tbh I don't mind that as much, but then she won't come to London or the beach because she doesn't fancy it.
I'm starting to feel like I'd rather cancel the whole thing and just do stuff with my DH and DC because otherwise I'll feel like a bit of a spare part to DH and his brother.
I'm quite irrationally pissed off by it, tbh. It's a bit weird, isn't it? Or is it just me?
We get on really well, by the way, and see each other a few times a week, so I don't think it's because she doesn't want to spend time with me.
What do you think? AIBU?
