Can i ask if i am being unreasonable to be a bit annoyed about this? My parents in law look after my 1 year old once a week, he is at nursery the rest of the week as my husband and i both work full time. They asked to have him 1 day a week and also said that they'd like to pick him up early from nursery at least once a week so they could give him his dinner and so he was with family as much as possible. This was all agreed before i went back to work. They love having him, always say how good he has been etc.
But my brother in law has just moved away and they are very upset about this as he has 3 teenage children - the first 3 grandchildren. They want to go and visit 2 weeks after they move and will stay with them for a week, they want to go on the day they would normally look after my son. I am annoyed because i can't understand why they can't leave the next day or even go the following week when i have the whole week booked off for half term? He is their grandchild too and they only see him once a week. They also have never picked him up early from nursery like they said they would. I don't mind that really as he is happy there but i suppose it's because i expected it to happen once they said it. Sorry if i'm moaning....! They also want my husband to leave work and play taxi to and from the station, and they are no longer coming to us for Christmas they are now going to stay with them. I have said what they want me to say which is that it is okay but i'm silently seething. My husband by the way agrees with me but will of course not say anything.....
