To cut a long story short, my mum is in hospital with a broken ankle.
She doesn't live locally (a plane journey away) and was visiting me and staying with us when it happened, so she is in my local hospital.
She has been in just over a week awaiting surgery.
I've visited and taken DS (2.5) every day as she was mainly here to see DS as she only sees him twice a year and she's very much the doting grandmother.
DS hates it, he cries when we pull up to the hospital, he gets bored when we are there, but my mum expects me to bring him every day. It's exhausting as well as the effort of wrangling him through the hospital to the ward and trying to keep him occupied is starting to wear on me.
I love my mum to bits, and know it must be really boring for her stuck there without anyone all day, although she does have other family reasonably close by who have also dropped in a couple of times.
But wibu to not take DS today? We both need a break from it, I would like a break from going too but I know that I definitely would be unreasonable if I didn't go at all.
She will be disappointed if I turn up without him, but I just don't feel it's fair on him.
