DSis lives on next street to me, is a single parent and has a 6 year old DD who I adore and have regularly looked after since she was 2. I look after DN overnight about once a week, often for full weekends and pick her up from school once a week and after school club almost every day. I do not mind this at all, I love DN very much, she is delightful and me and my sis have no-one else really to look after each others kids. DSis doesn't have DS to anywhere near this extent but I have a DH and not a very wild social life so don't go anywhere really. She has almost always had him if I ask unless she is doing something.
So today I asked her if she would have DS for a few hours while me and DH go to Ikea on tuesday (not enough room in car for stuff if we take him and I am 25 weeks pg so can't really go on my own and lift stuff in trolley/car etc.. Also can't go at the weekend as DH works unsocialble hours)
She said no because
- its her day off and DN is away for the week.
2.She has very recently met a new bloke on internet and he is coming up for the bank holiday weekened today and will still be here on tuesday so she wants to spend time with him. He has come up for the last 2 weekends but she won't see him next weekend.
Quote "I want to see new bloke because DN isn't here and that will never happen again" What never??
Feeling really cross that she can't have DS for a couple of hours but at the same time thinking I might BU as she is obviously totally loved up with new man?
So AIBU??
