To be mad at DP for making these arrangements?!

Genuinely not sure if I'm being unreasonable or not here so could do with opinions.

My DP has arranged for us to go to his Dad's on Sunday.

I was totally fine with us going but assumed it would just be a short visit. As in no more than an hour or two.

His Dad has texted DP and asked how long we are staying for and DP has responded that we will be there until about 3pm. (Arrive usually at 10am).

I'm kind of seriously annoyed. We visit his Dad every other Sunday. Sometimes we stay all day. Sometimes we go just for an hour or two.

However, I gave birth to our LO just under two weeks ago. I'm still sore and fragile and am currently only comfortable with doing very short trips out of the house.

If I'm honest I could have done with not visiting his Dad at all this weekend but agreed and said to DP 'Yes, it's fine as long as it's not all day.'

Maybe I should have been more specific when I said that. Would have been nice if DP had asked me though before responding to his Dad?

Just want to add his Dad has already seen our LO twice since I gave birth.

Isn't it supposed to be bad for newborns to be in car seats for that long anyway?

Love it fairy puff and then ask him how he would feel after having an operation on his penis and then going to your parents for the day!😁

What is wrong with him? Does he lack all empathy and imagination?

Yanbu.

Send him on his own if he's so desperate for a day at daddy's.

Give him options
He goes on his own
You both go for a few hours
Which would he prefer?
