Aibu, I feel like my in laws are always running away with their ideas and I don't know how to deal with it.
Such as mil might suggest we all 'go away' somewhere for Christmas. I'll make non committal noises and say I'm not sure, I don't know what we are doing yet, I don't really fancy going away at Christmas.
The next thing I know she's booking places.
They suggest they'll take the dc away for the weekend. Now they've made some extremely questionable decisions when caring for my dc, and the youngest is still only tiny so I'm hardly filled with faith and trust.
Again I'll say things like I think they're a bit young, we might have plans ourselves and so on, the next thing mil is texting asking "are we still taking the dc away at the weekend as planned".
They also try very hard to book up our weekends and bank holidays. So they'll say make sure you keep x weekend free, make sure you keep x bank holiday free we are planning something. We just get told.
Dh and I have to work some weekends so our free time is very precious. Of course we can say no, but often it's not that we have other plans, I just don't want my time booked up for me. Often me and dh will just decide on a Friday evening that we are going to go somewhere nice, weather depending and so on.
In laws are making me feel trapped.
Dh says he will deal with it but his dealing with it is just to ignore them and expect me to do the same.
