My sister is coming back on her ship tomorrow and I am suppose to be going along to see her (other family will be there, its not just me but they are going seperately, we don't have the same mum).
My nan was suppose to be coming with me but her arthritus has flared up and I don't think she will be coming.
I am 25 weeks pregnant, have really bad back ache, a 2.9 year old who will be coming and I have M.E. so can't really stand around.
Last time we went on the boat, you have to park pretty far away, then queue up (for ages, there will be loads of people there) for the coaches. I will have to get DS in and out of the pushchair, fold it up and down, get on the coach, with his bag and travel pot and pushchair (can't remember the driver being stood outside putting pushchairs on last time) by myself, then get off at the other end. I don't think the boat will actually be docked, you have to stand and wait and it takes a long time. DS isn't going to just sit nicely waiting all that time. I can't let him out as I can't carry him, he will run off or try and pull constantly on his reins.
DH can't get the time off work now, its too late and when we were talking last night, it was apparent that I am going to really struggle with this.
I wanted to see my sister come back and I have a feeling she may get shitty if I don't go but when we went to the family day with her on the ship, her behaviour and attitude was pretty appalling considering the effort made by me and cousin (who came down from up North). Cousin said she will never make the effort again. I was going to just forget about that day but when I think about it, I do get annoyed at how she was.
I just don't think I have the energy for it. I'm getting tired just thinking about what i will need to do but I feel bad cancelling at this late notice.
WWYD? Should I just suck it up and go or do I have a valid excuse to not go?
Also taking DS to a party in the afternoon. Arrggggghhhh.
