I'll try to keep it short.
Mil lives abroad, a 4hr flight away and somewhere we can't afford to fly to very often.
She text a couple of weeks ago to say that she was coming over to the UK for a week at the start of December. She's coming Weds to Weds and is staying at SIL's around 3hrs away who has a DN and is a SAHM
The day she arrives in the UK we are arriving back late that night after a 4 day break, which will be pretty hectic due to where we are going and what we are doing.
We will then be back to work and school for 2 days before the weekend she wants us to go to SILs. We've said it would be easier on everybody if she came here as the DC are 7 and 3 and we'd only get around 24hrs there and MIL could travel down whilst we are in work on the Friday and have 2 full days with us.
We've offered to pay for her train as petrol, hotel and dinner out would be around £200 which we can't really afford after this trip and so close to Xmas.
She was over in the summer and stayed in the same place but aibu to expect her to come to us this time? She seems to think we are and it's just 'easier' for us to go there.
She's only in her 50s and in good health, she's travelling over on her own so there's nothing physical stopping her. We've offered to pay her costs (despite her owing us money) so dh and DC can see their gran.
