I will try and keep this short, I don't think I ABU but husband doea.
I work as a nanny looking after two children and have my two children with me at the same time, today their mum asked me to have them at my house and she would collect between 5.30-45, my husband knows all of these details.
At 5.35ish I get a text from husband saying MIL is visiting 90 year old relative at care home and want to know can I FaceTime them so they can speak to my children. I said no, I'm working and the mum is literally going to collect any minute (even if she was due to collect I would have said no but it was just the worst timing ever).
The lady I nanny for is lovely and wouldn't have minded if my children were on the phone and husband knows this, however I just don't think it's professional as my children would have needed help from me. I them revived streams of texts from husband saying it'll only be two minutes, old relative will be upset etc etc etc.
He has history for not standing up to/wanting to upset MIL and relations are very strained between us all.
I am so cross that he thought it would be OK (and told MIL it would be fine and to expect a call) because he can't say no to her.
He on the other hand think it was two minutes out of my day and would have been a nice thing to do for someone who doesn't have the chance to see the children very often. Was I being a cow to say no?
