Aibu to feel a bit pissed off?

I think I probably am and admittedly I’m not in the best of moods because I’m tired and feeling a bit burnt out at the moment.

DH spent most of the afternoon and whole evening with his family yesterday (his sister has her in laws over who have come from the US so they all gathered at the sisters house). There were quite a few of them, not just the in laws but DH’s other siblings and their partners/kids etc. So that was understandable as it was basically a big family gathering. I politely declined as DC are incredibly tired this week, they’ve had a lot on club wise and I worried that they would have struggled today.

Today he took the day off work, I thought it was just to be home with me and the little one but he went to his mums house where some of them have gathered again (this time just with his mum, sister, her DH and her in laws). He is still there now and probably won’t be home any time soon. I just feel a bit like he has swanned off today leaving me to do everything whilst he sits with his sister’s extended family… aibu? They are only here for a short time but he doesn’t really know them, he met them first at the sisters wedding years ago and second time was yesterday, so I’d rather he be at home tonight with his immediate family being of some help to us?!

I think he's right to go and make an effort with his sister's in-laws, especially as he doesnt know them and wont get other opportunities, and TBH I think you should too.

If you can't do that, he should have taken DC to meet them and give you a break.
