10 week old being taken to Scotland for 3days

[DillyDallyDayDream]

Posting for a friend

Her MIL (they have a shit relationship) is demanding she takes my friends 10 week old away to Scotland for 3days. She's saying no as the distance is quite big (would travel from South east England).

Who's being unreasonable my friend or her mil?

Mil. It's fine if the babies mum is ok with it. If she's not, she's not and therefore it doesn't happen.

MIL is demanding that she (the MIL?) take the baby to Scotland? Away from the baby's mum? Or demanding that the mum take the baby to Scotland?

Either way, who the fuck gets to 'demand' this? On what grounds?

MIL being seriously unreasonable - not her baby & no right x

Her MIL is demanding that she (the MIL) takes the baby

The mil is being ridiculous. No one has the right to take a baby from it's mother. It would be cruel. Ds is 10 wks tomorrow I cannot imagine anyone taking him.away from me...they would find it easier to rip my arm off tbh.

Hahahhahahahah.

No.

The end.

er no

the baby should be with mother

MIL is BVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU

No. She would still be being unreasonable if mum was allowed to stay with baby.

What does her DH say about it, surely he would tell his Mum to get to fuck. Her MIL has no right to demand anything even if they had a brilliant relationship.

Absolutely not!!! No way would I allow my mil to do that (not that she would!)

Nope. Not her baby, not her call.

Clearly the MIL.

Say No, if she continues f off should work.

How can she demand to take the baby?

She can ask and your friend can say no. The End.

Yes, just what does her DP have to say about this?

Eh? Mil is suggesting she removes a baby from its mother..DIL....to the other end of the country for 3 days? Why on earth would would anyone suggest such a thing?? Trying to rack my brain to think of a senario where this would be a helpful suggestion, but can't comeup with any.

I did however get on a plane with dd at three wks to do a whistle stop tour of my relatives in scotland for a few days as I had just a small carry on bag with a few things but who would want to separate a baby from a mum?

What does your friends dh make of this?

No. MIL is being ridiculous.

Many (most?) mums wouldn't be happy to leave a 10 week old overnight just down the road. To demand to take a baby that young miles away is just mad.

No way MIL is nuts

Ha ha ha ha

I don't have DC and I still think that's nuts.

FFS I did leave my 10 week old kittens for half that length.

She (MIL) has no right to demand anything.

What's her (ops friend) OH/DH saying?

MIL is being so U that she has almost done a quantum and gone through to R again. I hope DIL and her DH told her to fuck off.

You're joking right? The MIL is BU.

The trip is to see my friends DPs step family.
Her DP is saying yeh let mum take her, she's a social worker so it will all be ok

*i didn't leave my kittens for half that time

Really need to proof read. .

unreal... I wouldnt even have expected to have my grandaughter overnight at that age unless specifically asked by her parents. I certainly would not have demanded it, or even thought of taking her away anywhere.. madness!

What does being a SW have to do with it? A good SW would know that this is unacceptable. I will ring all the people I used to work with at SS and ask them. Let's pretend I did because all of them would say the MIL is BU.
