Dh has very kindly arranged for us to have a day/evening out for my birthday later on in the month. He has booked tickets of some description and arranged for MIl or SIL to have dc. Both reassurred him that one of them would definately have dc. Now it turns out they have received a wedding invite and are no longer able to babysit. Obv I understand a wedding is important but I am still feeling a little peeved.
DH has now told me that I will have to get my sister or someone else to babysit. Will be a full day and evening. AIBU to think that if I get my sis to do it I should pay her a nominal sum for "expenses". She does not work. Normally we do not pay relatives but she will be getting us out of a hole.
