DH is going out with his mates on saturday night and as they all live 50 miles away close to MIL, he is staying there. No problem so far. He rarely goes out, and deserves a break.
BUT his nephew is unwell in uni, in fact in hospital, where he has been for over a week. SIL has not been to see him as neice is kicking off and refusing to go to school etc. Dad not on scene, kids refuse to have anything to do with him as he was and is a horrid spiteful excuse for a human being. I offered to go and look after niece, and get her to school etc so SIL can drive the 200 miles to see her son, but she doesn't see the point (?!) He is hopefully getting out of hospital Saturday, so SIL has asked DH to drive her down to pick up our nephew as her car isn't big enough to get his TV in? DH does have an estate, but her car an astra isn't exactly a mini! So the plan is now for him to stay up on friday night so they can make a early start to pick up nephew as SIL is a hour closer than we are. Then DH will stay up and go out with his mates, be hungover and i possibly won't see him all weekend , leaving me to look after DT's.
Its just unfortunate its happened on the same weekend. But do feel like why does DH have to pick up nephew? Our older nephew is also available to help, but its fallen to DH. SIL is always calling on DH to sort out her crisis.
Reading back I do sound like a bitch, but before now DH has had to dash off to sort out family issues leaving me with sick child who ended up in hospital AND when I was in hospital while pregnant with DT's he had to dash off to pick up FIL from hospital, whilst SIL was off work but too stressed out to deal with it.
Sorry for ramble on, but didn't want to drip feed. AIBU? (Be gentle please)
