AIBU?
MiL will sometimes ring to ask is to take baby round for her to see. She is able bodied and both FiL and MilL drive. Visits never seem to be on our terms just theirs.
Partner works. A lot. Weekends and through the week mainly works afternoons and evenings this time of year which gives us a small window in the day to do something. But this hasn't happened in ages.
He works weekends but has a day off in the week but often picks up extra work meaning for weeks we haven't spent the day as a family unit.
I was hoping for some time tomorrow. Military has rang asking us to go round because family are visiting. I've said I don't know what we are doing. She has asked for a time.
I hate to be short but there is a complete lack of understanding and an expectation that we will drop everything and shoot round. Partner doesn't mind would do it.
My family live 200 miles away and when I visit wouldn't dream of holding me to stay in if someone was visiting. Not all of my family have met my baby.
Partners mum and dad live 20 mins away. He has two brothers one with a small baby one with older children and they don't get the same types of phone calls but my partner is the youngest.
I think it's unreasonable for her to ring and expect us to go round like the entertainment. Particularly with no prior indication that family are coming.
It's not the first time she has rang and asked us to go round.
I find the email petition and the fact she feels she can demand this. It is so annoying and frustrating she simply wouldn't think we have had no time together and see it from our point of view. She needs to keep up appearances. So wants us round.
The weather has been rubbish but had picked up. I like getting baby in the fresh air in nice weather but all they will want to do is sit indoors. They say it's cold even though it's boiling if they go outside. They'll sit with the TV on so it's not like anything will happen. If we suggest going out they find reasons not to.
Is it just me. AIBU?
