To expect Inlaws to babysit

MIL and FIL have been over here since the day before our wedding anniversary in March and have still not offered to babysit their only grandchildren so we could go out. They have however asked if dh can drive them to Sheffield tomorrow to collect somehting from a friends house despite them both being able to drive.

Dh is frightened to ask them to babysit tonight in case they want to stay over (we have no spare room) so I have text them from his phone asking if they will babysit for a couple of hours. They have their phone on permanently because it is their only phone in this country. Have had no reply still after 4.5 hours.

love the image of granny hiding in the shed with a fag in the pouring rain.
Then you get the one a bit like the old cigar ad with granny sitting serenly/calmly on a deckchair a cirl of smoke ascending soothing classical music in the background while chaos reigns inside!!
