I mentioned to mil that DM was going on holiday (outside of the EU). Mil asked if me to ask DM if she would bring back some cigarettes for her. I kept forgetting to ask DM as it was ages before she went but mil kept asking. When I asked DM she said she really didn't want to. I think part of it is that she can't be bothered and also she always comes back with loads of stuff for the grandchildren and takes public transport home from the airport, so doesn't have the room.
When mil reminded me again she said she would appreciate it if they both could bring back 2 packets each (I think this equates to 800 cigarettes). I was very non-commital and said she would see what she could do but it depends on a number of things like how much money the had left (mil replied I could have given her the money if she wanted it) I then said the get public transport and the may not have room in their suitcases nor the weight allowance (mil said the can put it in hand luggage).
Mil has been very persistent in chasing me up and seems rather p-ss-ed off that DM hasn't said yes or no.
I'm not a smoker and neither is dm so don't really see it as a priority. I know cigarettes are expensive but I think its quite cheeky to ask somebody you barely know to bring you back 800. Its not like DM would be making anything financially out of it.
Is it unreasonable of dm to say no to bringing back even one pack to keep the peace (she told me she won't)
Or
Is it unreasonable for mil to ask for so many and be p-ss-ed off if shE doesn't get them
