Dh want's me to take kids on hol with His family without him

[CoffeeDog]

Had a chat with DH last night and he thinks IABU

Due to go on a week long caravan hol with DH entire family next week...

MIL booked it as a 'treat' for us back in jan as we cannot afford to go this year.. she annouced last month that she her DH - her mum and dad will also be sharing the caravan with us making 6 adults and 3 kids in one caravan - with all our kids squished into the little room and me and dh on the fold out bed bit in the living room.
SIL & her DH have a caravan there and will be there with therir 7 kids - shes 7mth pregnant and isnt very mobile so MIL idea is that we entertain the kids while SIL has a break..ermmmm what about me?

DH isnt really good at speding alot of time with his own family (due to probs when he was a kid) as said last night that he thinks he will stay home and decorate for a few days while me and the kids go and have fun...... I have told him NO way i am spending a week being the glorified au par with no sleep(Dh grandad gets up at the crack of dawn and his mum with be at the bar till late )
I have said if he want the painting done i will happily stay behind on my own and paint the house whilst he takes the kids after all its HIS family and he has never had the kids on his own and just come back from a fishing trip with his dad - would be lovly to have the house to myself!

He thinks i ABU as i get on with his family better than him..???

I do find it hilarious this thread is still going. OP will return from 'holiday' to all this speculation and hopefully fill us in.

Still no update :-(

In this rain they'll all be cooped up in the caravan.
Something awful will happen.
It's like a Tennesee Williams play.

Somtimes no news is good news.
Unless shes hidden the bodies really well.........

I do hope shes ok and updates soon

Well I'm off on "holiday" to a caravan site in the same region tomorrow.

I will be drinking vodka for breakfast keeping a kind eye out for a fellow MNer, never fear.

If we do, you know, hear something on the news what should we do, ethically? Ask MNHQ to delete the thread so that all evidence of possible motive is destroyed? Would that be seen as obstructing the course of justice? Or a legitimate interpretation of the MN Philosophy: "Please do bear in mind how difficult this parenting business can be, and if there's one thing all of us could do with, it's some moral support."

ROFL Blu!

I am praying she has found a spare couple of hundred in an old forgotten account and has run off to Brighton for a night in a boutique B&B with huge kingsize beds and deep baths.

What can I get in Brighton for eighty pounds?

OP WHAT HAPPENED? (if t'were true - if not, just continue inventing for our entertainment!)

She's posted aibu back from the caravan, sorry don't know how to post links

Here it is, then!

Thanks for the tip, MoominsAreScary!
