Sorry another MIL related one!
MIL lives very far away and visits several times a year for 4-5 days at a time. She was last here 3 weeks ago. She is now asking DH to come back again next month. We don't have any free weekends. I've told DH this and explained what is in our diary.
MIL cannot accompany us to any of the events we have booked in, and I don't really want to go and leave her at home. 1- because DH will be clock watching the entire time wanting to get back. This will make us all on edge and mean the kids won't enjoy the things we have booked. 2- Since DH is at work for all but 2 of the days she will be here I don't see the point in her coming if he is only going to really see much of her on one day.
Anyway during our conversation where I was explaining why I don't think next month will work DH brought up that I had once said I wished I spent more time with my deceased parent while they were still alive.
AIBU or was that unfair? I feel like it was an attempt to make me feel guilty but he denies it.
FYI I saw my deceased parent once a year for a couple of hours so it's hardly the same.

AIBU?
To think this is an obvious attempt at guilt tripping?
