I'll try to keep it short.
At the end of last year OH and I spoke about a short break in the UK over summer. We'd have a newborn (no more than 12 weeks old) but still wanted DS to have a little get away.
We initially thought about Centre Parcs but it was too expensive. My Dsis came over to our house when we were discussing it and she said she'd like to come as it means OH and I could get a break and she'd take DS swimming etc (chances are I won't be able to swim, elcs planned). We agreed. It would be nice to have some help and DS is close to her.
Fast forward and Centre Parcs became too expensive. Instead we booked a caravan holiday through the Sun promotions and paid for the newest/upgraded caravans, 4 nights. We paid for OH and I plus the two kids. We asked Dsis if she still wanted to come and she said yes, it would cost an additional £50 to add her and she would pay.
Dsis then gets a new BF, who is also a good friend of OH (together 2 months at this point and 4 by the time of the holiday). Lately she's been asking aboit adding him on too and he'd pay, completely ignoring the fact that 4 adults, 1 child and a baby in a 2 bed caravan isn't the best situation. Not to mention we invited her to cheer her up after a break up and she was going to spend quality time with DS. Dsis and her BF are looking at this as more of another holiday, relaxing and then drinking through the night. Completely impractical in our situation. Also, in terms of money OH and I had no problem buying a little extra food to cover a few dinners, lunches and breakfasts for Dsis, but we can't afford to do that for two extra adults nor is there room for two separate shops.
Since they've started to date Dsis has become inseparable from him, as she did with her ex. But really, a 4 night caravan holiday with a newborn and demanding child can't be seen as fun for a young 20 something, can it? I suspect it's Dsis pushing him to come, for her own wants.
I've told her she doesn't have to come if her BF isn't and she keeps insisting that it's fine, only to ask again in a few days. Wibu to return her £50 and tell her OH and I just want quiet down time with the kids and sbe can look at going away with her BF instead?
