My DP's DD is due to visit today at 9am. We normally have her from 9am today until 5pm tomorrow but this week my DP has had to work over night from monday until sunday. Instead of cancelling initially, he and his ex agreed that he would have her just during the day today and take her back early afternoon. Things were sorted at work, his partner said he could sleep from 1am til 6am which would have given him plenty of rest to be able to look after DD. Unfortunately things didn't work out and everything that could go wrong did go wrong, so he had zilch sleep.
I spoke to him at 7am, and he already sounds like he is hanging out of his arse so I suggested cancelling DD as I don't feel it would be fair on her. His answer? I could look after her for an hour or so whilst he sleeps and then his ex could pick her up from me later in the afternoon (she wants him to drop her off after he's supposed to have left for work).
I think this is totally unfair on everyone involved. It's unfair on DD as her day will undoubtedly be shit and boring. Unfair to expect me to look after her while he sleeps. Unfair on his ex to pick DD up from me, I'm sure I'm the last person she wants to be civil to.
So AIBU? Or should I just shut up and see her in an hour?
