Myself, my boyfriend and our baby girl are going over to the grandparents tonight. As the baby sleeps by 8pm she's going to stay overnight. The plan was that myself and my boyfriend would also stay in the spare room.

I'm told now that we are to walk home instead of sleeping over, while the baby stays the night.

I'd bought four cans of lager as I haven't had anything to drink in months and I'd agreed already with my boyfriend that he'd look after the baby in the morning while I sleep it off.

However, I don't fancy trying to walk home in the dark on ice and slush whilst a bit drunk. Actually, I don't fancy it whilst sober either.

AIBU to call and tell them I won't be coming over? And then there's the question of my baby. I don't mind them having her overnight but I don't think they'd want her if I wasn't there to look after her.

No taxis by the way. In Sweden I don't think they run at that time, triple fare or not.

Ask them to come to you instead. Seems daft to me, why aren't you allowed to stay?

Don't think you'd be unreasonable at all. Why have they changed the plans? Are they your parents or his? Seems very odd to alter plans at such a late date.

So why have the plans changed?

I don't think YABU, if you don't want to do it then don't-tell bf that you will all be staying home & you'll be enjoying the lager as he'll still be getting up in the morning with the baby Grin

Drink walking is actually more dangerous for the person doing it than drink driving. Stay at yours or stay at theirs but don't be wandering the countryside after your first drink in months.

Why have the plans changed? And how young it your baby?

Just had a call from my boyfriend. Apparently the reason we can't stay over is because my boyfriend's brother, girlfriend and daughter are also going. Their daughter is going to stay the night, using up the spare room.

However, we are no longer expected to walk home. We will get a lift from his brother instead.

I think that's even better, because now neither of us has to get up to deal with the baby in the morning when hungover. Win!

Thank you all and sorry I've wasted your time :s
