MIL called DH to say that she is paying for a 3 day stay at an AirBNB. Lovely, thank you etc. He said that we will book it in next month.

She said well no, it needs to be taken next week Tue- Fri! Not only that, its 2 streets from where we live!!! DH pointed out that we have workmen here next week and neither of us can book leave with such short notice. Nor would we want to stay in our own town! He said that the cash would be more useful for when we do book a getaway.

After a huff, she said he was being unreasonable and hung up the phone. Was he unreasonable?

What work are you having done? Could it be that she booked it so you didn't have to stay at home while the workmen are there?

She had it booked and can't go herself so is trying to fob it off on you and disguise it as a gift. You're obviously not being unreasonable- it would be a rare person who could go with such so notice
