My sister had a baby in the early hours. I want to take half a day's holiday tomorrow, go shopping for a present, then get the children at 3.30pm and take them over. I will take them their lunch boxes (a treat becaue DS has school dinners and DD go hers for her birthday this week) so as not to expect my sister/BIL to entertain us. It is 1.5 hour drive and we will stay 1-2 hours and then I will put the DC in their pjs and come home.

DH is coming out with "nobody will expect you to" - what has that got to do with anything, it's about what I want to do having OK'd it with my sister obviously. And "taking the children on a school night". They don't get a cousin every school night and I am not talking about being back late and we often go visiting family on Sundays and then do the pjs thing on the way home. "Most people will wait until the weekend" - I am not most people, I am her sister and will she really want her small house packed with extra people at the weekend?

And the final straw (given he is away from 5am to 8pm tomorrow going to watch golf at Wentworth) "I am not playing golf on Saturday" - which he normally does but he is playing at 11 on Sunday, and both children have different birthday parties on Saturday afternoon (DH had forgotten) and DD has her dancing on Saturday morning (which she missed last weekend because DH and I were out and will miss the weekend after because we are on holiday).

So I decided to do what I wanted to do without reference to him (other than informing him). AIBU?

If your sister is genuinely ok with your DC being there for a couple of hours, then go and sod him
