DH proposed holiday with his DB & DM

Just need perspective really. DH's DB has provisionally booked a holiday with their elderly DM on canal boat. DH only found out a few days ago and answer is needed today. It's for 7 nights later this year. During the time away I will be responsible for DS 21, evening meals, washing up, housework, 2 dog walks (approx. half hour each). I also work in the middle of the day at school standing/walking & putting up lunch tables . Last year injured knee, still not 100 percent but getting better slowly, osteoarthritis diagnosed. So excessive standing and walking gives flare up.

Has been suggested to make it 5 nights and/or half term week so no work for me, dog walker for 1st walk of the day which is usually off lead.

These suggestions will be made by DH to his DB but had cold shoulder from DH yesterday cos I didn't green light the hol. BIL can't go on his own with MIL as it would be too much work. They went away last year on the same hol 2 days after my injury, could not be cancelled or moved. AIBU?

The holiday is later in the year, not now! So there's lots of notice.

Ok, well, I have a knee problem too...in that there is nothing but a false leg underneath one of mine....

Yet I somehow manage to....
Work up to 60 hours a week
Walk my 3 dogs
Cook evening meals (and prepare DD's lunches and breakfasts)

YABU. Very. I hope your DH enjoys his break from being the servant for you and your DS.
