Bil & SIL were away and last night their kids stayed with us. They collected them this afternoon whilst I was out and advised dh they were going out tonight also and MIl was babysitting nephew whilst the other child had a sleep over at a friends house. They asked our ds if he wanted to sleep at theirs, to which dh said No. Ds is tired and had a late night last night because of the sleep over. Despite dh saying no, they persisted and the kids were disapointed because of course they wanted to be together gain, so dh had to very firmly say no again.
Later on , I rang SIL who proceeds to tell me about nephew being alone at home with MIl and that he would prefer to come and stay with us again if I didn't mind. So again I had to say no, ds is tired, and going to bed alone at a reasonable time. if the 2 of them are together and early night does not happen....
SIL seemed a bit miffed, and thinking about it I am wondering if we are in the wrong. She will feel her kids are not welcome here, but that was not the point we were trying to make.
Thoughts?
Thanks
